noman, my personal view is that it depends a lot on the quality of the individual. just compare inter students with a'levels. you will see a lot of difference. its not that i am degrading inter students (of course there are very good students in inter as well but i am talking about the majority). its just for comparison purposes.
Similarly, a few of my friends are CA inter, a few are ACCA qualified and many of them cant even communicate in English. so i think it depends a lot on how you present yourself or should i say, "sell yourself"
As far as your comparison with MCS goes, i think finance is something that every company needs to have. no matter what. not every company needs an IT engineer but accounting is must for every company. similarly, there are industries like banking and investment that solely rely on the quality of their finance professionals like CA, MBA, ACCA etc.
Yes the economy is not good but i think that there is a lot of potential in the Pakistani market and it is bound to grow at an exponential rate at some stage. furthermore, you are also discounting the effect of the credit crunch and financial meltdown that has shattered even the best of economies. its just a ripple effect that we are experiencing here. Plus you have a country that is spending billions and billions on a war so economy really has no room to grow. But this will get better inshallah.
Rest assured, one thing is for sure is that only the best survive in the most competitive economies.
