So basically, I am 21 years old with not much going on for myself. I have one A level (A in my language and that's it. I have the GCSE's (A's in Maths, English Lang+Lit, French and my language).
I tried doing an Access course this year but the subject itself wasn't for me so I quit half way through. I've been thinking about what to do lately and have decided to go for a businessy type degree.
I have looked at the AAT-ACA Accounting Course, does anyone know of this? It looks promising but I am worried that future employers will look for people with actual University degrees. Now I have two options as far as I am concerned. Thanks to financial backing, I could go to an independent college from September and do a 1 year intensive Maths and Further Maths course (Maths is one of my better subjects) and then go to University or to just start on this AAT-ACA fast track accounting course. I have heard people tell me not to go to University and others who have told me going to University is so much better. Does anyone have any advice they can give me/experience on this AAT-ACA course?
As I am 21 years old, I am not sure if I should do a year doing an A level course, then 3 years at University, where I will be 25 years old and then 26 if I want to do a Masters, or to just do this ACA course. I have seen the average wage on the ACA course is decent but is it trustworthy?
