in AAT Level 3 (Level 6 in Scotland)
Hi

Im in my final year of AAT at technician level and I have a place at university for accountancy and finance this september 2008.

Im really lost because i heard from some people that the degree is a waste of time and other people say that with a degree you can get a place in an accounting firm to train to become a chartered accountant.

I want to reach ACCA of course and i know i can get into it after AAT technician. I need to know whether to do the degree or go onto ACCA. I desperately need to know if doing the degree is a good career route because even after you do the ACCA you need experience to step into accountancy jobs.

All help is appreciated!

    As far as I know, the technician level is very close to degree level, depends if you want a job straight away or not I guess.

    I think you should do both.
    As far as I am aware, if you have a degree in accountancy, you can complete your ACCA in 1 year with Oxford University.
