Basically, i chose accounting is not merely because of interest. If i were to say interest, i have most interest in multimedia design field. However, due to the job prospect, i decided to choose accounting. Accountants are always needed, but multimedia things subject to seasons (perhaps, like the rise of IT will create more jobs for this, and we dunno when IT world will come to the end). Nevertheless, i still have some interest in accounting, as i won't force myself to study something that i don't like (that's why i didn't choose science stream =D). Anyway, i've chosen this career.
And now, things are getting harder when it comes to papers like F5-F9, which is our advance diploma. Please be noted that these are only fundamental papers but not professional papers yet. Then, as internship purpose, i am going to work in real firm. After collecting info, i discovered that working in an audit firm will make my life miserable. I mean, you go at 8 or 9, and only back at 11. This is too much for me, so i am not going to work in audit firm. But if i am not going to work in audit firm, is obtaining ACCA qualification as important as before?
Anyway, i guess it helps no matter what i am going to become - lecturer, internal accountant, or even in finance field. Cert is now very important in society nowadays. Obtaining a degree seems not enough since plenty of graduates are now competing for the limited jobs. ACCA professional qualification will be an enhancement and powerful credential for me to obtain jobs with good benefits. Besides, i take this as challenge - to challenge something that i am interested and get the satisfaction (lame reason). =D So, i am continuing with ACCA. =D
