If you intend to pursue a career in accounting, do not waste your time acquiring diploma or degree in any higher learning institutes. Here is a little story:
Ash and Matt have just got their driving license and decide to travel to PJ. Like any other traveler, Ash takes the highway where he have fork out money to go through toll stations. Unlike any other traveler, Matt takes the shortcuts instead, which causes Matt to stay toll-free all the way until he reaches his destination.
Eventually, both will get them there. This also applies to what I am trying to deliver.
Ash and Matt are both fresh graduates from high school and they share the same ambition – to become a chartered accountant. The prior continues his studies at a local college in order to pursue his dream as for the latter he takes up a professional course – LCCI. In the end, both will get them there. So, the bottomline – why would one have to spend money and consume time when there is a shorter route?
Reason is pretty simple. If I were the operator of a college, I would not definitely and mostly like to see my student comes in and go out just like that, for a short period after they have completed their studies. Hence, I will provide student with a ‘good’ route to complete their studies which is likely to consume their time as well as moolah. Because what I demand is just gold. Yet, most of the students will never realize this, as long as the students do not get the exposure. Lecturers are often well aware of this matter, but most of the time, they will remain silence as they are required to do so. Hope you get the point here.
If accountancy is your cup of tea, go find the ACCA upright and ask what is your requirement to become a member. Diploma and degree are pointless in accountancy world, obtaining an ACCA title would mean you would get the key to access the world. Also, forget about CIMA, CPA etc. You are in Malaysia, be realistic. Go for the one with two As and two Cs.
