What is scope for CA along with CS. Is it better if I choose B.com hon's along with it or opt for CA or go for CS after completing CA. Make sure I am not aimed at CS but focused on CA basically. Please make it fast as I am in a hurry.

Any decisions which you take in a hurry is not going to help you. Better, pause - think over the career options which suits you. It is definitely going to be no joke to take detour in your career.

Okay...I think I should pursue B.com along with CA and afterwards CS...maybe along with MBA.

But I need suggestions here...Whether to opt for simple B.com or B.com hon's would be better. I am just stucked here.
