piecing things, one at a time

With the passing of every exam is a little victory for me. It is a small step nearer to the completion of the programme. How fast 1 year went past just like that. Dearie will be commencing his master too. Learning should be a perpetual process.

As much as many will argue academic qualification is not that crucial if you have all the working experience, but reconsider this: you are in the same selection with another candidate with the same amount of experience, but he has academic qualification which is one notch up from yours. He has the qualification that exposed him to a more specialized or wider spectrum of work. If cost is not a huge factor in selection, who would the organization shortlist? Qualification is not everything, but we have to admit it does play a part when you have to compete in the rat race.

I’ve been planning for 2010 recently. The obu degree is still something in my kiv tray; want to do it but a little uncertain how to go about doing so. Then again, most of the time, money is the key. I can pay a school to get help from a lecturer. Pay for supplementary classes on how to write a thesis. So it’s that simple, you just need the M-factor.

I intend to look into taking some short courses with tax academy. I feel having good grasp of taxation will be helpful in my career.

Things ought to slow down for me in the coming year. We’re planning for a kid and I’m a little saturated for long term studies. With the short courses that can be accomplished with the year, I hope I can make some changes to my career and build my family with dearie.

If opportunity does not knock for me to move job, I am thinking to take up some tutoring assignments if possible; just to earn a little more. Should all things come together well, upon obtaining the full icpas membership in april, there should be more options available.
