Without wanting to sound like a miserable shit
I have 8 GCSEs, 3 A-Levels, a BSc, an FPC (Financial Planning Certificate) and an ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).

None of it means a thing. Complete waste of time and effort. Do I really need all of the above just to tell people that they spend more than they earn and that debt is generally bad, especially crippling debt?

yeah...ish...
my BSc is Biology. Accountancy tends to be a dumping ground for failed scientists.

What happens to all the people who actually have degrees in accountancy then?

Suicide.

Ha Ha!
I was going to say something along the lines of "They are shot the day after graduation" or "They die lonely virgins, thus removing themselves from the gene pool".

They have exemptions from some of the professional ACCA exams
so they become accountants, only quicker.

Although the accountancy student I shared a house with at uni never seemed to have any lectures and spent most of his time sleeping or watching tv. He also didn't want to become an accountant.

Sounds almost exactly like the accountancy student I know.

I thought you guys all became physiotherapists?

nope
thats people who do sports medicine (the fourth year of the course).

SS basically enables me to be a PE teacher, a personal trainer, or an exercise consultant.


I did have plans to open a physiotherapy practice with my mate - according to an old teammate of ours they are quite lucrative. Mate now does cookery, i pretend to teach
