What career should I go for? chartered accountant or engineer? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease answer?
if i decided to become a chartered accountant i would become one and then go on to get an mba. if i decided to become an engineer then i would become one and then try and get a phd. both ways i am pretty sure i would make good salary. maybe 100k+. but i dont know what i would enjoy more. please help me decide what to do for. here is my personality and life.... i like to sit around and watch tv. ( I AM A lazy couch potato). i dont really get out of my house i just sit inside and go on computer or do something like that. i dont like dirty manual labour.now reading this you might think accountancy will be the better career for me. but wait there is more. i would like to invent something in my life that is gonna be a great invention. i like doing stuff like filing down wood and metal and making things out of it. basically working with tools and nuts, bolts and screws and files and stuff like that. from this it looks like i want to have an engineering career. (one important thing - if i am going to do engineering it would be civil or chemical engineering or else i would go for accounting). someother stuff are i am good at chemistry (usually i get grade As in exams) but i hate it when in chemistry lessons when we do practical work. would i have to do stuff like that if i become a chemical engineer. and i hate maths but still i am good at it. so would hating maths make me hate my job if i become a chartered accountant. what career should i go for. pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help

Answer 1 :
I'd study accountancy (I am doing actually), and obtain all the qualifications. Then, if you are an accountant, you can transfer those skills into even running your own company! REMEMBER: Don't think that studying accountancy restricts you to just being an accountant.
Answer 2 :
Engineer hun, il give sum inventionts that the UK dont want
Answer 3 :
Hi there As you have taken the time to commit to paper what you consider to be your interests also strengths and preferences I wonder if you have read it through yourself ! It sounds to me as if you are not particularly interested in either career. Many people choose career paths which meet their financial criteria - only you can know if that is enough! Its about choices - either the satisfaction of payday or the challenges of earning a living doing something which floats your boat. I suspect that the fact that you are asking the question reflects your own doubts. If your chosen style is computer geek/ couch potato it is not clear to see where your ambitions lie. I am afraid the only one who can solve your dilemma is the one in the mirror ! I wish you success
Answer 4 :

Answer 5 :
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese decide one of them and stop asking the same question on here again, and again amd again. We can't make your decision for you - only you can do that and the peoel who know you well are the best to advise you. Forget about the money, you spend 1/2 your waking hours each week at work, or travelling there and back and if you don't enjoy the job money is worthless. Go for something you will enjoy and find rewarding to do. If hiring and firing people, screwing up lives is good then go for the MBA, change the world and become an overseas aid worker, make things and engineering, count money and be bored to death filling in another spreadsheet then accountancy is for you. Engineering is a lot of maths by the way.
