Career guidance

Dear 007,

1st let me tell u that MBA and CA are 2 different platforms and dunt think this as just an Degree/Course to get settle in your life, analyse and talk to experienced ppl on deciding where ur interest lies in.

here are sum listed points based on which u can do an self evaluation taking into the account on ya age and other matters :

1. CA takes minimum 3 yrs provided u pass the exams in 1st attempt, u sld focus and be devoted for full 3 yrs to achieve the same. Whereas MBA takes a FIXED 2 yrs if uve scored good marks in CAT.
2. CA is about finance, accounts, tax related and internal risk / controls of firms. But MBA u will have HR / finance, business mgmt, economics related areas.
3. ofcourse CA is much valued then MBA but good things always cumes with a heavy price, i wunt say passing is difficult but u need to do ur planning and preparation well wid a but of luck by ur side. However once u get into mba u will sumhow study and clear it and doesnt need as preparations reqd for CA .
4. By today's present economy and market , CA is valued well then mba even in long term. financially too CA freshers are paid well than the MBA freshers.
5. Looking into the statistics there has been a decline of more than 40% in mba freshers not getting placed and more than 20% of the mba collages are already shut down.

As for the correspondence degree DUNT WORRY it is not of that importance as long as u score well in your CAT.

Also X and XII marks are also not a deciding factor for choosing ya careers what matters is your focussed mind and your strenght to pursue your career without anyone interfearing .

All the best ...

Thank you so much for taking your time out and helping me..Since i am a commerce grad i know few CA subjects and i believe i can do it and m only looking for finance.

The thing m worried about is my age and since i have to do internship for 3 years, the salary in terms of stipend is little worrysome to survive...

I would be very happy to take CA as a career but only stipend is making me think again n again.
