Medical Degree Or Accounting? by Thunderbird007: 5:34pm On Apr 10, 2019 |
Good day Nairalanders, I trust you all are having a great day. I'm facing a pretty challenging dilemma right now, and I'd love your inputs. I'm 19 and I just finished my third year of Microbiology and I'm currently on my SIWES program. Shortly before my sophomore year, my dad encouraged me to begin ICAN by starting ATS, and I finished ATS 3, the final stage of the ICAN preliminaries in September. If things go as planned, I should be done with my ICAN programme shortly after my BSc. degree. However, I really love Medicine. Its the course I've always wanted. I'm currently on a 2:1 now, a few points shy of a first class. I'm not sure if a second class upper can get me a DE into MBBS. If MBBS doesnt work, can my ICAN qualification allow me to begin a career in accounting or get an MBA even without an Accounting degree? What's my best path to take from here? I don't want to mess this up. Thank you all in anticipation. 1 Like |

"If MBBS doesn't work", yes, ICAN qualification can allow you begin a good career in the field of Accounting. I was faced with a similar but not exactly same situation. After my secondary school education, despite being a very sound Science student, I wrote and passed all stages of ATS exams (1 & 2) while waiting for admission to study medicine & surgery in a Nigerian University. With my ATS I was admitted into HND Accountancy programme. Moved on to apply for direct entry with my HND Accounting certificate. Today, I am a proud holder of AAT, HND Accounting, BSc. Finance and ACA. Having a satisfying career in the field of Accounting. Be assured that there are lots of routes and opportunities to have a satisfying career in Accounting once you qualify as a Chartered Accountant. However, may plead that you work hard enough to excel and remain in the field you love most - Medicine. Thunderbird007: 2 Likes |

Thunderbird007:Since Medicine is your chosen Career , Go onto becoming a medical doctor if you so desire as you are still young .... But A2A, If medicine doesn't work, ICAN can allow you to progress into MBA , I will recommend you also find accounting/Finance related job so as to have experience ...... If you desire accounting degree so as to be able to compete effectively , Go for ACCA using your ICAN to claim exemption but allowing yourself to qualify for Oxford Brooke's Btech/B.sc in Accounting . Google more on ACCA and Oxford Brooke's!! |
