Hi

Im in my final year of AAT at technician level and I have a place at university for accountancy and finance this september 2008.

Im really lost because i heard from some people that the degree is a waste of time and other people say that with a degree you can get a place in an accounting firm to train to become a chartered accountant.

I want to reach ACCA of course and i know i can get into it after AAT technician. I need to know whether to do the degree or go onto ACCA. I desperately need to know if doing the degree is a good career route because even after you do the ACCA you need experience to step into accountancy jobs.

All help is appreciated!

hey koolboi first i would like to know what would you be doing in the university and from which place you are?


I would also recommend you to opt for ACCA route(it is a little tough but it is definatly worth it)


Now for your second part of question well you can also join an employer right after you complete your acca or even if you are part quallified .


You can get a list of accredited employers in your city and country from the local office hope this helps.
