I totally agreed with studentca...C.A is the prefix that everyone desires to add before his name. u can't judge a person who is earning more than a C.A in terms of money value. Money is also earned by doing anything like by thelawala, fruitseller etc.Even these persons earns lot money more than as compared to many big corparates job. Why Mr. Balasaheb demotivating students, u don't know the power of C.A. 90% of CFOs of listed co. are C.As. They serve the country by their finance skills by employment with industry or by involving in practice. There are many C.As I know who are earning crores of rupees. It's upon u how to grab opportunities. whether u have to earn 30-40k pm or Lacs.
