Answer 1 :
You get a job at an accountancy firm and take articles.
Answer 2 :
You can start most accountancy qualifications with no educational qualifications at all. If you wanted you could just as easily skip the whole 'college, university' thing but you would have to pay your own tuition fees unless you are working for a company willing to pay them. This is the case with most professional courses. CIMA, which I am studying and my wife is fully qualified in, starts you off with five certificate level exams and then hits you with ten professional ones. But you do not need a single prior qualification to do this although I won't lie to you; it's not exactly easy. End result you are qualified to the equivalent of a Masters degree. Seriously though, there's a lot of reading and writing involved. I'd advise you to brush up on your English. Bear in mind that being taught in school is vastly different from being taught when you are older. School is full of people who don't want to be there; college and university, even adult learning centres, are full of people who want to learn. Go for it just the same. Glad to see you're being realistic.
