Accounting vs. Law

[Kenjo]

..specialised doctors make more money on a daily basis...jus saying...

Some are pharmacy owners too...they don't need a degree in business management to make money and live a rewarding life...

LOL
Please keep the OP away from medicine ......everyone else in the thread is saying that in any career it is a long hard road before you make any real money and all of these careers are very time consuming. Her sole purpose seems to be only money so keep her right along the path where she is because it isn't to benefit others but herself so let her stick to law and accounting please!!!!

all this money talk, you could NEVER have enough money. if u start chasing money over everything else now, u will never stop.

[LovinDiva]

you'd lol at this: get a 5acres and about 50k and start planting gyarden...srs.

If only...This would be ideal for me *win, win*

[LovinDiva]

Hi All, I have a question to ask (duh, hence new post, lol)

I saw that and immediately realized that OP cannot be taken seriously, further backed up by statements made in thread.

There are plenty people in both fields catching hell to get good paying jobs and they have experience

Your ASSumptons are wrong, what's wrong with making a little joke?

[LovinDiva]

all this money talk, you could NEVER have enough money. if u start chasing money over everything else now, u will never stop.

Who said I was only chasing money, money would always be there. But I like both Law & Accounting so I was asking for advice on which one to do. But some ppl saw only the money part smh.

Finance, not accounting.

Both of those fields are really saturated these days. I'd recommend fiscal/financial management( or macroeconomics, if you think you'd like a challenge for a main course & some gray hair on the side)

If you suppliment your BM deg with accounting, you'll be at the bottom doing paperwork for a long time. Do what 88sins said.
Besides, you's rather not work and get paid. With your finance knowledge you can make that a reality
In Law, you're guaranteed doing paperwork for a longer time. Unless you sell your soul and go into criminal, where's you'd either stay private and save some bad people to prove yourself, or settle for a gubment low rate wuk prosecuting them.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into financial management and see if it's something I would want to do.

Doctors with a pharmacy or a Medical Lab doing it for the money. Hence rewarding life.

Money is the only thing that matter. You have the ambition and brains - so now make the money and see how life changes ... and I talking big money made legal.

[konartis]

all this talk about which is better than the other or which field to choose...accounting at any lvls cant compare to a lawyer when you talking about money, you would think that you have to get into a "firm" to get work in courts representing people, or open an office by yourself to make it, but you dont...its not hard...its all about how you represent yourself and what you bring forward....there are many options from going on ur own, working for someone representing their name, or working for the government(DPP) or the legal aid authority, with all options, you will be paid well....as compared to an accountant...ILAS is doing well with students and Hugh wooding is ur choice for Lec....

LMAO. how balanced is your life in pursuit of this money?

[MG Man]

Law but do what you like, doing a profession based on how much money you think you can make, will leave you frustrated

I don't generally like doing anything, If it was up to that I would be home scratching my ass & colleting a very hefty salary for doing so....

Well, you could make a fine living by offering affluent gentlemen timed vaginal incursions for financial consideration. Unless you fat, in which case financial affluence you seek may take a bit longer

You have to have a balanced life. But the priority is the making of money, legal.
Guy have brains now he set his life to make money. Big money with further education,

And any ACCA qualified accountant would have had to study Financial Management.

As I mentioned before, get to know way more about your potential career path than just being in Accounting or Law. That's for primary school kids.

Very very basic example.
Senior audit partner in a Big 4 firm managing US$M accounts
vs
Accounts clerk who enters vouchers

[Conrad]

Since OP seems to be in it for the money and thinks she can go all the way, why not seriously look into Investment Banking?

It seems to be a great choice of career for those who are ambitious.

Chase the big legal money ! And every thing else will come to you !! Money = Happiness

this is gold

[Ted_v2]

legal is wasting time, so is accounting.

Do something constructive like bringing down car parts eg, finishers, dizzy, new sheit for old cars

[Sky]

You're laughing, but so are the people who do that stuff, all the way to the bank.
I can't wait to pay off my house so I can quit playing it safe with a stable job and start a small business. That's where the money is.

[acesinghit]

teaching is the best job to have.

15 weeks holiday a year + 2 weeks leave so that maybe 17 weeks in total

$12,000. a month starters

Lessons money = 30 students x 500 a month = $15000 tax free

total earnings - $27k a month
For an early to mid twenties person, that kinda money while living with parents = at least $1,000,000. cash savings in 3 years

not necessarily. the vacation teachers get is the best but salary wise? primary school teaching is a waste. at start, they make sumwhere around $6,000 - $7,000. secondary school teachers make about $10,000...hav a partner teachin econ 6th form in CIC an he makin a lil more dan 10. so dat along wit lessons.....secondary school fuh eet.

[RASC]

This is single handedly one of the stupidest/missinformed threads on chuna right now. From the OP to the "advice" given.

[De Dragon]

To give a proper answer to your question would require a gauge on the fatness of eet...

[kjaglal76]

lawyers eventually hold high office

e.g Kamla & carmona
