Also, working gives you the relevant experience. For instance, if you want to be an accountant, try to work as accounts assistant while studying ACCA. Sure, the salary is lower but you know the job better. It also helps you to know if you really want to be doing that for the rest of your working life as studies do not match job positions as many had found out after starting work.
You have a point there my friend. I've thought of it too. But for my case, i cant even afford to fund my private diploma that suppose to last for 1year+ in order for me to proceed to ACCA. Therefore i would need work for like one year before i can start studying my diploma. I know that sucks but thats the truth. Do you still advise the same route?
Although Accounts is my interest now, i wouldnt be sure that it would be my interest in the next 10years.
