For me it is not financially viable for me to go back to university - and at the time when I should have been applying for uni I had to stay at home and help look after the family as my Dad had recently died. By doing accountancy I can work and study at the same time and I do enjoy numbers as well.0

That's bull0 -
well too true. but i believe that if your strong enough that you will never ever do anything for a long career if you didnt want to do it. i know that 99% of people will most probibly do job in ther life time which they hate but stick at it because there isnt anything else...but even in the time when they are working in a crap job for crap money they are still planning ahead to future there career0

Mark, loads of people do jobs they don't wanna do?
Accountancy is a real 'fall into' profession.
It's very accessible (compared to say Law or Medicine) and in my experience people tend to pursue it in the mistaken belief that it is a goldmine (it can be, but you gotta work damn hard and be damn clever to gain access to the top jobs).0 -
well thats just a different class of people then.....they are not WORKING class ?0

So?
You can't be pushed into anything you don't want to do, and I believe that people who say they were pushed into a career they don't want by their parents are just using their parents as a scapegoat after making their own poor decisions.0 -

you have no idea what my friends parents are like. U cant judge my friends like that:mad2:0 -
No, but I know what its like to have parents try to push you into something.0

well Sonny . i have to disgree with your there that a lot of people do job they dont want to do . but only because they have not got the choice or the drive or ability to do anything else. we started AAT because we wished to further our career and get better paid jobs and make sure the we provide for our children and our retirement and not just because we think there is loads of money in it because we know that there isnt a huge amount of money to be made in accounts until you have put the time in and served you apprentaship,as to say,0

If they're not strong-minded enough to make their own decisions they shouldn't be in the working world anyway!0 -

that was the point i had about 8 years ago when i was living at home and in a average boring job with a normal pay rate and been in that job for 11 years before and then just realised that if i stayed tehre then after another few year that i would basically be wasting my life away !
so started the AAT course to better myself ?0 -
i nearly always wanted to be an accountant, sometime in high school. I went straight on to my accounting and business A levels after college and then straight into AAT, hopefully ACCA afetr. Like u said its a profession some people can just fall into. But its something ive always wanted0
-
ive just reigstered with ACCA today .........holy dump.......thats it..my life gone now for the next 3 years ¬!0
-
Hopefully I'll be starting ACCA when I go back to work. I wanted to start studying while I was on maternity leave but work wouldn't let me :crying: I'm glad in a way though because it means I can concentrate on the baby and just enjoy it rather than studying. But I was so looking forward to being qualified by the time I was 22! Now I'll be 23-240
-
still plenty of time there hey GEM0
