Economists are more grounded than accountants. Study economics and write ICAN/ACCA.

Not if he starts taking the exams right from his first year in school. If he's really dedicated, he could become a chartered accountant upon his graduation

that's right, although i don't advise that, especially for a non accounting student, as it may disrupt his normal Bsc economics.

I've never seen any situation where taking a professional course in school disrupted the school work. If anything, it even made them academically stronger

U haven't seen anything then.. I have lots of friends that did it and it obviously disrupted their school work. You think its easy writing say F5 or F6 in Acca with your nornal 7 or 8 courses in school? U wan kill person? Even me that am taking just 3 Acca papers in December, i know what am facing. Not to talk of someone still having school work to do
