Answer 1 :
Keep reading and re-reading, I promise you when in the exam you will remember far more than you think. Take that from a person who had exam phobia for years and took an exam back in October and wrote for 3 hours straight, and remembered way more than she thought. Just keep going over the material, relate your answer to the question and plan an outline before you begin to answer the question. Good luck, you will be fine :-)

is doing a degree really worth it if i want to become an accountant?

is doing a degree really worth it if i want to become an accountant?
i dont think i will be able to get into a top uni like LSE or oxford, and i've heard that from people and online informations that employers dont really care much about degrees from a university that is not very well known or doesn't has a high reputation. i also dont like the idea of studying another 3 years even though i like learning. its just that i dont think i will be able to specialise in real work accounting, degrees are just too general on everything. not everyone uses what they learn. i want to specialise as an auditor after doing ACCA (that is if i can). there are other routes to becoming an chartered accountant, as long as i do ACCA but i dont know who will employ and train me. i know i will get good A level results like 2As and Bs, and i am very hard working and determinant to achieve my dreams. so can someone please help me to decide if i should do a degree in accounting anyway and fall into a huge debt or try the working route, but if i do that who will train me

Answer 1 :
I am no expert, but I am fairly certain that becoming an accountant requires you to have a degree. The most you could do without one is become a bookkeeper somewhere. You might also be able to work for a place like H & R Block doing taxes, but those are not accountants. You will make no where close to as much money as a CPA makes.

Answer 2 :
I am sure that to become a chartered accountant you must go to uni, try Glasgow or Edinburgh they are respected unis and their degrees carry their weight unlike some less known ones.

Are we no longer allowed to be openly racist if we want to be a success in life?

Are we no longer allowed to be openly racist if we want to be a success in life?
i.e. if you want to be a well respected politician, lawyer or accountant, you must only make these comments in private to people you can trust?
