You are Mashallah intelligent student having inquisitiveness that is a good feature but are getting emotional well before time.
I advise you to wait for a few years; so that you can uncover the widely prevelant facts.
GreatKhan has concluded his post in a nice manner and I agree that ACCA should not be undermined for the repute it got as a professional body. I also agree that personal skills, knowledge and exposure (coupled with a good designation) make you much marketable.
However, I tend to add and emphasize that a "particular qualification" does play a vital role AS WELL in a given market and skills solely don't provide the required plateform. This "particular qualification" can be different at different locations and there should be no problem in accepting the fact. (I believe UAE alone is not a material example to prove to the contrary.)
One further thing, I agree that certainly the views expressed at this forum by one or two members; "as well as by five or ten members", do not make a difference and progress of every thing has to make its way itself.
Let me say something about the words of your teacher(s). Most of teachers (including CAs) would be giving you similar remarks to portary ACCA's bigger picture; and I know you cannot understand the reasons for the sake of your lacking at real life exposure. One of Karachi's biigest colleges (RAET) is owned by a very close friend of mine; and he along with the teachers of his college also do the same thing. People like you are their bread and butter and how can they paint a smaller snap of yours? ACCA's entry in Pak has increased the amount of butter on their bread (to be more precise) and this all is quite natural. You may not be aware that the ones who run PIPFA's colleges also draw similar pictures for their students. You may not understand it but time will clarify the situation.
Some ACCA are tied up in a thought that they study some out of the world things. Bhaai parhata kaun hai tumko? How funny is it that the member of same ICAP teaches you the stuff that is too superior to what he had studied in his career. I mean he never saw and learnt what he is teaching to you? For God's sake! This is what I must call a myth.
Every one at colleges is making money like ACCA is itself doing and majority of the people having enough pounds are sacrificing it for the sake it is a foreign qualification. No one is worrying for your future; and students at large like "oily" outlook of "khayaali pulaao" cooked by those who are squeezing out the hard earned money of their elders.
Still, I am of the view that once you have a designation (ACCA) you can excel specially if you leave Pak or you keep forebearnce to accept the facts.
This is a brotherly advice that you should concentrate your objective which I know is really good and well focused. Writing posts like this is not going to do anything since it is being done for last 5-6 years without a result and situation is "as it is". I guess it is the time to rescind the conclusion-less debate.
I believe God will bless those who work hard. All world is yours!
Regards,
Kamran.
One further thing to be added; I advise you not to bring in the debate on "discrimination", otherwise another debate will be initiated and I will ask you about a lot of discrimination being done at every corner of the world, specially by the "most civilized nations".
