I knew straight away finance would pay well and I have three daughters, so I looked at all the chartered bodies in Ireland, and the local universities offering finance degrees. I didn't take their word for it, I researched what these 'accountants' were paid vs charted accountants, and the difference is skewed in the favour of chartered accountants. Obviously, the chartered exams are much more indepth and difficult, meaning we can tackle more on the job. I've only hit one snag so far. I found a school offering ACCA specifically (not as part of a degree etc) but due to the way ACCA offeres specific foundation/variant papers at specific times of the year, I knew if I sat 1 or 2 applied knowledge exams, I would have to wait three months before the second or third paper was availble for me to register to do that class. I registered for all three knowledge papers, I have a parttime job and 3 kids under 7. It's bloody hard! I'm up most nights till 3am, back up at 8am to do school runs, barely have time to do chores, cause I'm always studying. It will pay off, cause I can sit 1 paper at a time from then on. I know this sounds crazy, but I don't believe in wasting time. Definitely agree! Do the research first before wasting time, money or effort!

Thanks for the video! Looking forward to the other ones

Hey dude! Thanks for this .Soon going to start my ACCA journey and this help me alot.

Great video Conrad. I am also an ACCA student from Botswana. I also wished I had gone straight into ACCA from high school instead going the route of going through University and battling it out for exemptions. But hey, what's done is done right? I see you were graced with several exemptions. Which papers are you left with now?

Thats sound crazy , I need more info
