Education and Career Forum

With All honesty I never cared for my exams right from my school days till the time I cleared CA-CPT and I have already wasted, I think that's what i did by not giving my best shot and thinking that in CA people often fail then they pass and this attitude of mine has lead me into a big trouble , because when I look back I have only regrets and nothing to please me or make me happy , being a below average student mainly because of lack of fighting attitude and lack of sense of responsibility towards my own career.

I registered myself with ICAI in nov 2012 after completing graduation from Mumbai University, I gave two attempts for CA-CPT after that working in a call center thinking that I will be able to clear it with ease and that's what lead to my downfall and even then i didn't realize that i am not just wasting time but also i am loosing all the possibilities of making a good career and more than that i am keeping my parents away from the happiness that they deserve ,sticking with a Call center job and apart from preparing for a few govt job i did nothing till this June when i gave June CPT attempt and cleared it this time

Now I have realized what it takes to be a CA , i wanted you to guide me and help me rather , "is there still any opportunity left for me to have a my dream fulfilled or have i wasted a major part of it already?".

I am very motivated and the hunger to succeed is like it was never before and I am experiencing this every day and I want to become a CA at any cost but is it too late now? I am 27 now.
