Hello everyone,
I posted here before asking about career change. I was considering Project Management as the pay in the industry I work in at the moment is pretty much capped. After a long research I decided that PM perhaps won’t be the route for me.
I am 35 and have been in Education for over 10 years (teaching and management) and have really had enough. The money really is a joke considering the stress and the workload. Since having children I suddenly started to think about my financial stability and now am exploring a more lucrative career options.
I looked into accountancy, especially doing the ACCA course. It will be useful to hear from current accountants or those who have made a similar career change. Do you have to be good with numbers to be a good accountant? Is the profession in demand? How much is one expected to earn as an accountant (chartered or not)? What are the qualification and job search routes?
Basically what I am looking for is a quick career change (3-4 years) with great career progression and a decent pay. Any other career change suggestions and welcome.
Thank you,
Purple Yoyo
