Even if you managed to get your pte dip while serving as a regular, it wun help much in ur next career (accountant). Without experience, it is not easy to find an accounts executive job. They will say min exp is Full Set Accounts blah blah. Ur how-many-years-chiong-sua oso is just like that. Prolly will get started at accounts assistant level oso. Pay is prolly 1.6k? Moreover the environment is female predominant. U need to gossip gossip to survive one. Ur cup of tea?

If you really want to take accountant route, at the end you are also going to have to take ACCA. It is not easy to pass. Test is not tikam tikam mcq one. Some need to write essay, some need to type calculator until u up lorry. All papers must pass. Fail then retake n fail until u pass. Each fail is 1/2 year wasted. A lot of people get stuck n give up. After army ppl head grow grass. U sure u can handle that kind of academic rigor?

Even with pte degree u oso will get stuck. Accounting is a profession, not generalized job. Not ez if you are not that kind of person. By signing on u will never noe if u r that kind of person. 30 years old then realize u choose wrong path is much more jia lat.
An accountant here. prepare to work long hours. especially month end closing, when everyone starts submitting invoices to you. you up lorry. My office I am one of 2 men inside, 4 girls. so 2 male and 4 female. I graduated from NUS and working as accountant in MNC now.

Sure as hell, the girls gossip like fcuk everyday. i wear what clothes they also comment.

For example, girl A was absent today and she knew what I was wearing the day before. Because the other girl B told her what I wore to work. I mean, in my head, what the fcuk!?\

i dont think you go army you can become accountant, sure Up the lorry until you jia lat jia lat and mati..
