I am bit confused right now for my career. I have 8 years of experience in book-keeping and since the starting of my career i only worked at Executive levels. As I have worked in big corporates i managed to get a package of Rs.4.50 lacs due to my stability and work experience but right now I am feeling very insecure about my future cos competition is increasing day by day and qualified professionals are there to work at lower salaries then why the company will keep us on higher salaries. As far as my qualification goes, I have done B.Com (Hons) from Delhi with 50% and PGDBA (Finance) from a Distance Learning Institute with 73%. Now I am thinking of upgrading myself and move higher on education of have a secured future.. basically I am planning to pursue CFA (from ICFAI) or CWA (though confused between them). I am already 30 years old, married and having a kid also. More or less i am inclined towards CWA program.. Will be grateful if I can get some great guidance. Thanks in advance

Dear Friend, Dont consider your age anytime and relate it with education. Let me tell you a real thing happened. In my town, One person worked in postal department. At the age of 42 he took VRS and joined CA and cleared it in 3 years. He practiced for 35 years and become the NO.1 Chartered Accountant Firm in our town. So dont consider ur age for that.
Now let us come to your case. You can very well do icwa and finish it with in 2.5 years. The practising scope of cwa's are very bright. You can very well practising as a cost accountant and corporate consultant. now cwa's are authorised to sign eforms filed with MCA. So join icwa and be a great professional. ALL THE BEST!
