Welcome to the field of CA & CWA both are very ggod & if you do both be sure you will be very happy & as for the opportunities concerned, For a professionally qualified person its a never dying world of opportunities. As to Age factor, Age should never be made as a factor for Studies. CA S D Bala Started his CA studies at the age of 58 after retiring from State Bank & Joined CA & completed at his age of 60 in 2002 & now is also a very well known author for a Book of Financial mgmt for CA Final & also into the profession of Coaching, So now comparing Him to your age, Your age would be to his Children, So I feel I have ade my point very clear & also welcome you to this Course wish you the best to do your studies & complete CA & CWA. Rather you can even go for CS alongwith as it is also easy to complete with simultaneously

I suggest you to carry on your studies, now you can take the CA Articleship without clearing IPCC as you have already cleared your graduation (Provided if your profile is satisfying given criterias). This may be helpful for you to complete CA within a span of 3 or 3.5 years from now.

By showing your past working experience, you can claim CMA Articleship exemption. Finally I would like to say that if you clear intermediate level and final level examinations of both the courses in one go, definitely you will be a qualified CA as well as CMA within a span of 3 or 3.5 years.

I suggest you to follow above route.

Thanks and Regards

Harish. A
