Dear Shumail,
Lower earnings make the life tough sometimes but certainly (as you mentioned) have no bearing to the respectable status of a family. I appreciate your straightforwardness and I believe you will get to reach your destination if you are sincere with your future and family. Let me tell you, there is no other way to part with the social/financial differences, and/or uplift the family's financial position. This can only be achieved if the sons of the family are sincere in their education and have the intent, fortitude and craze of doing so.
All my best wishes and prayers are with the gems like you. Be God with you as well.
As you have already adopted commerce as your field so it is needless to say that you should opt for CA specifically in the circumstances you mentioned. However, studying in RAETS (authorized colleges) may not be feasible for you due to financial constraints. It's very nice of ICAP to remove the hardship by revising the by-laws whereby now you are not bound to take up the classes in any RAET for doing your CA modules 'A' to 'D' that was previously a condition.
If you are upto it and can work hard and can pursue the education at your own, you can certainly do it without getting admission in any RAET which certainly means to reduce the expected financial burden to a larger most extent.
Other costs of doing CA may also be felt on higher side but certainly would be in manageable limits. These include books, study materials, time, exam registration fees (insignificant) and paper appearing fee (not that material) etc. You can get photocopies of study materials (from some friends) to save the cost, use libraries, and internet for this purpose and also keep the inquisitive approach alive whenever you meet fellow students and seniors to probe in the areas where you find stress. Finding out a study mate for combine study may also be helpful.
As far as CA's demand/future is concerned, specially if you have to stay here, don't carry any illusions and whims for it. You would certainly be among the most wanted ones once you achieve your target.
Always keep your objectives and anticipations high and always do all the possible and impossible positive efforts to achieve them.
Best regards,
KAMRAN.
