I would like to carry forward my studies because i have heard that ACCA is not a superior degree compared with others. And i have also completed it in 2 years so my age right now is 20 years. Which means that i am too young to start a job. So thats why i decided to opt for further advanced education
Make an appointment to follow up with your advisor at a later date. That turns the advice into goals, and the follow through into a contract.

Thanks for responding to my query.
However, regarding your question about which qualification to go for, I think it all depends on your credentials and your aims. If you were considering Financial Markets, then surely CFA would give you a competitive edge. On the other hand, for assurance evidently ACA from ICAEW, and for management accountancy, which I personally would prefer over ACA for obvious reasons, then CIMA should be given active thoughts. It all depends on what are your personal goals!! As I have said before that you need to ask yourself self-evaluating questions, (please refer to my post in CIMA vs. MBA under Career Folder).
Alternatively, you could also consider doing an MBA-Finance, which I think is also recognised provided attained from a reputed institution like LUMS, Lahore for instance. However, you may need somewhat couple of years work experience for getting admission into LUMS, but please check this, I may be wrong.
Please do tell me what you think about my post.
