Should I be an Accountant or Teacher? Really stuck?
Should I be an Accountant or Teacher? Really stuck?

Answer 1 :
Why not do both., You could become and accountant and then teach. I am an accountant, I'm currently attending school for my MBA. This way I'll be able to teach at colleges as well.
Answer 2 :
Be a teacher! You get great holidays and it's really rewarding at times. But beware - it's VERY hard work, demanding and exhausting. But everyday is different and you'll never get bored. It's also one of those careers that allows you to travel to any part of the world you want; I'm in Egypt now, but people I know are everywhere in the world. And if you do go abroad to teach, you don't have to pay tax. If your in the UK too, the teachers' pension is one of the best you can sign up to.
Answer 3 :
OMG i never thought i would know someone with the same problem - i dnt no whether to be a teacher or accountant - but i have gone with teacher becuase its more money, rewarding job, holidays, love kids so i choose teaching. gd luck
Answer 4 :
It is true that teaching has good holidays, but it is a great deal of work, too. If you like working with people then teaching might be for you. If you can be happy working in an office primarily by yourself then perhaps accounting is your calling.
Answer 5 :
An Accountant because it is the highest paid job around!

Answer 1 :
That level of qualification is okay but there are many of them and they are not all good in practice. hence the economic mess we are in.
Answer 2 :
An accountant is a valuable asset to any company, but having an accountant of whatever qualification is only one part of a team. A skilled workforce, economic production techniques and a marketable product are of much more importance

What GCSEs for a accountant?

Answer 1 :
hi :) Im in year 12; i did my GCSEs last year :) generally, your subjects at GCSE wont prevent you get any jobs; most unis and jobs ask for 5 A-C grades, induding Maths and English, so I wouldnt worry about the particualar subjects. However, statistics seems like a good idea, business would be good too. Maths definatly. Maybe economics. btw, i do statistics at A Level, and it is not easy. At all. You will have to work hard, but you sound like you will :) the other thing is make sure that you dont limit your range of subjects. what i mean is, you are only in year 9, so keep your options open! Since as long as I can remember, I have had my heart set on doing Graphic Design. That was what I wanted to do, I didnt contmplate anything else, and I didnt listen when people said I might change my mind. So, i took art and DT at GCSE, which was one of the biggest mistakes of my school life. I thought I liked these subjects, but the sheer amount of work and the pressure, put me off them, and I now want to go into a more technical side of IT. what im saying is that thought i wouldnt change my mind, but i did. Im not saying this will happen to you, but it very well could, so bare it in mind! anyway, good luck with your GCSE studies, work hard and dont worry too much about your subjects at this level! also, have a look at this site; http://www.connexions-direct.com/jobs4u/index.cfm?pid=50&catalogueContentID=268 it might give you a bit more info :) hope I helped! :)
Answer 2 :
I am an accountant, and I did GCSEs in Maths, English Lan, English Lit, Double Science, History Geography, PE, German and Information Technology. I also did AS Levels in Statistics and Pure Mathematics as maths GCSE was sat 2 years early. I then went to college for AS Levels in Human Biology and German and A Levels in PE, Maths, English Combined and Law. The easiest way to get into accounting is to obviously make sure that you are capable at maths, and other subjects that would aid with this would be business studies, economics, statistics and law. The law is one that many people forget, however the contract law is very useful to get a base level knowledge of. You don't have to go to university to study accountancy, if possible, an option is to get work in a accountancy practice and from there you can study for the AAT qualification (not compulsory but recommended), and then the ACCA examinations. Even if you go to university, you only get exemptions from some of the ACCA examinations. It is therefore up to you if you want to go to university for the experience knowing you still have to do exams. I did, and I don't regret it one bit.
