How did I decide I wanted to do CA?

How did I decide I wanted to do CA?

So this was today’s question, and after reading everyone’s response, my decision to take was total ownership of me.

After writing my heart out, I just wanted to write 3-4 sentences; I came to realize this article got too big (over 500 words). So if you are looking for a summary, I just took CA as full responsibility without anyone’s recommendation.

But if you want my personal experience on it and some life insights (maybe you may get your own some), read it. 🙂

I wanted to do BCA (Bachelor of Computer Application) because I love computers so much (even today, I have helped a lot of friends to make computers from the scrap). But the specifically I did BCA was because I was not too fond of maths. I couldn’t;t get Binominal theorem into my brain.

But later, I found out Indian School System rewards the steps and the process. How you get the answer, and they want us to get to the answer the same way, which I find pretty bad one of many flaws in it. In the USA, for example, they need answers, and you can do your way. And on the 11th exam, I studied from Khan Academy alone. Haha. Yes, the wrong decision.

I then have to drop the maths later, and now I need to go with Economics. Still, due to parents’ pressure and my lack of self-awareness, I was pressured to take Computer, and I did.

This move not just at that moment looks good, but I already knew what MP board Computer teaches nothing.

And in the process of all this (11th and 12th), I had developed a love for books. And I know one incident where I had read 30 books in just three months. Even today, I couldn’t complete it. I was reading everywhere, especially during boring classes and all.

I did pretty well and passed the 12th. Now comes the final decision for me to take. I had read amazing books about companies, and I would love to start one. And at that time, thanks to the unstop level in my body, I was looking for a big challenge (even today I am), and usually, what people were doing is CA. So I got to research into what the hell is CA.

After reading tons of articles, I came to realize, everything I wanted to achieve in my life, CA, can provide me a spectacular base for it. I was hearing CA is good, but nobody was recommending it to me. I was (and I am) that I am a weak student. And that’s true.

One incident, after exams ended, I went to a friend’s house, and I saw his sister is doing CA, I saw the syllabus. And was astonished by it. From Custom taxation to E-commerce, from Law to IT. I had already read books about all this, and I want to explore more. I didn’t ask my friend how much she studies every day (which was more than 10 hours I later found out, ouch).

So that was the pretty much reason why I decided to do CA.

If you have read this much. Thank you so so so much. It means a lot to me.
