Some colleges marketing tactics are questionable, however, I never thought I would just walk into a role related to sound engineering working in a studio after graduating. I took it due to wanting to study an area I am passionate in. However, I will say that a degree in sound engineering is far...
Alluding to the idea that the degree is not worth any more than a bucket of warm spit is absolutely ridiculous and again I completely disagree with this.
I'm not disagreeing with you that a job in Sound Engineering is not something that is very difficult to get and has very limited job posts...
Apologies if this is in the wrong thread but I'm currently in a bit of a pickle and looking for some advice. I have just completed a BA degree in Sound Engineering were I obtained a first and I have previously completed the Open University Professional Certificate in Accounting (equivalent to...
Thanks MyAccountantOnline for your advice. I think I am probably going to take the AAT and Open University degree route now and attempt to also get some actual practical accounting experience during my AAT studies.
I have previously attempted to get some entry type roles and applied to numerous...
I think I would quite like to work in smaller/medium sized accountancy practise. So trying to get some practical experience alongside the AAT would be the preferable option over the Accounting and Finance degree in your opinion? Have you got any advice on how I could get some practical...
Thank you for you post MyAccountantOnline,
So do you think it may be a better route for me to take AAT and continue with the BSc Open degree and maybe try to get some relevant Accounting experience alongside this if I can, maybe some voluntary accounting work or maybe an entry kind of role...
I think I would ideally be looking for better career prospects than my current position, I currently have limited work experience. As mentioned in my post I have almost completed the Professional Certificate in Accounting and also half way through a BSc Open degree, so I'm looking for the best...
Ok thanks for the advice, so AAT and the Open university route would probably be the best course of action and then to also look into studying the ACCA rather than the Accounting and Finance degree route?
Hey scallyway,
After I have completed the Professional certificate in Accounting at Open University this September I think I could get the same exemptions from ACCA as what the AAT would give, so I could start at paper F4 ACCA. But I wont have enough funds to pay for tuition so I would have to...
Thanks for your advice, I have also been also looking at doing ACCA. How limiting would AAT be for career options? The only problem with doing ACCA is I would have to pay for this myself and could not afford tuition so would have to self teach it.
Hey Scalloway,
I would preferably be looking at working in some kind of Accounting role. So just trying to decide which would be the preferable route for this, either the AAT and the Open university BSc Open degree or an Accounting and Finance degree.
I'm looking for some advice regarding my current situation. I have currently been studying the professional certificate in Accounting at open university, I was planning on counting this towards a BSc Open degree at open university as I have previously completed 120 credits at level 4 and the...
