Answer 1 :
I have 2 points to make. 1. It is difficult but possible to be both at the same time. 2. If you do both, which are you determined to be? employers love determination
Answer 2 :
You might have the theory but you would probably have to start at the bottom of the work ladder again. Also you might find it hard for an employer to take you on. And studying to be an accountant will also take more years on top of your degree, so think carefully about your choice of career.
Answer 3 :
I have known civil engineers who have gained accountancy qualifications, but it hasn't done them any good. I have also known accountants who think they are capable of doing anything in other fields, but they were wrong as well! You cannot be at the top of two professions at once. Education is only part of what you need to progress up a career ladder, motivation, experience and determination are other qualities you need. I would suggest focus on the one field you are best at and look to extend with an MBA.
Answer 4 :
Same answer as before..... I am sure you asked this before and this is the answer that I gave. This is getting to be one of my pet hates on here - people asking the same question again, and again and again..... No reason why you can't do that. However - and there often is a however with these questions.... If you worked as a chartered accountant say 10 years before you decide to work as a civil engineer a few things will happen. In 10 years as a chartered accountant you will have passed your Professional exams and this means that you will be earning quite good money. Now go to be a graduate civil engineer (no experience so you start at the bottom of the rung again), your take home pay will drop quite a bit (over £10k). You might struggle to actually get jobs - a look at your CV will show that you are an accountant and engineering firms will probably want an engineer with engineering more at the front of their mind. Certainly it is possible. However a better course of action might be to decide which you want to do first and train for that, work at that until you want to change and then spend the 3 or 4 years re-training. That way you will have the engineering knowledge in the front of your mind and be able to sell yourself better. Now as for getting a well paid civil engineering job as a new graduate.... that is another thing and quite a rare job to find - you start at the bottom with all careers until you get experience to earn more money. When I have read your multiple identical questions - you were looking for jobs that paid £100k after a while - neither will do that unless you are the best. £25k is a bit on the high side for a starting salary for both - £20k might be a more realistic proposition
Answer 5 :
There is absolutely no reson why you can't have two professional qualifications. I know people who are teachers and lawyers, doctors and biochemists, and many other combinations but you will have to decide which is your major profession and you will need to qualify in both. A degree alone in engineering is unlikely to be a lot of help to a chartered accountant. It would be difficult to launch an engineering career with a degree in accountancy. I think you would need to become a chartered engineer and pursue accountancy in your spare time. You might find a niche for an engineer (probably civil) with an accountancy qualification. Finance director in an engineering company? Project controller on large civil contracts? Or just forget both and become a Quanitity Surveyor.

Answer 1 :
You might be better off in the field of marketing analysis rather than accounting. Accountant just deals with financial transactions that have already happened where you already have some training on analyzing how to improve sales, etc. But if your sticking to be an accountant, you should take the obvious accounting courses, some computer courses, and economics.
Answer 2 :
In the United States -- statistics won't do you a bit of good. They are completely different fields of study. In most states, you have to have an undergraduate degree that covers auditing, financial accounting, management accounting, professional ethics, and taxation, as well as business courses other than accounting courses, before you can even sit for the CPA exam.
