What is the best route to getting into a career in accounting from scratch?
I left school with my gcses but never pursued my education. im now a mother and would like to go back to studying and having a career. accounting interests me but im not sure what would be the best way to get into this.
What is the better degree/career: accounting or supply chain management?
Im the same as you. I started a college course 3 years ago and found I really liked accounts but accountancy firms wont usually take you on untill you have at least started a degree in the subject. Im currently just starting my second year at Uni doing a BA Accounts and Business. If you are on Family tax credits you will probably get your studying for free. If not you will get some help from ILA. Most Universities do evening courses like I am doing.
Good luck,
