I'm doing Business/HRM combined, come next month at Mmu. That maths you mentioned sends shivers down my spine. It's my Goliath and has always been.
I can't even work my tax out and prospective employers would be expecting me to do a company's payroll, in big figures for that matter. angry angry angry
The fear would disappear, when you think of the exchange rate.

In RED is wrong information!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the account never FALLS below the required amount you are ok counting the 28 days.
You DO NOT need to freeze your account you can use it as long as the total never falls below the required sum.
Very correct.

In Nigeria here? Good. How do i register for it, and what is the structure. Lastly, how many stages are there to complete it?
You take the lectures here and write the Exam in Ghana. 3 stages and it takes 3-4yrs to complete you are to register at their website.

Good. All the best in your endeavors. But lest i ask, what is the process/ requirements to qualify for CFA exams
With a Bsc certificate you are qualified for the Exams..

Ugosample:

But is a PhD really worth it? The stress and everything. Are you doing your PhD?

. Am diverting into finance..there is this fear of being a lecturer..which is I don't really fancy. I would rather do a CFA to Phd. A Phd would be worth it if you love lecturing. As they do say with a PhD you can never be jobless...A PhD would be worth it if you do it in the USA, they do give Full Scholarships and pay yearly stipends they treat it as a Job over there some of their Universities retain their Phd grads as lecturers ....A PhD can get you into the World Bank, AfDB IMF and Co as a researcher..and I mean they pay in Dollars..that enough is a motivation. In Nigeria most Phd's end up being lecturers Dr Nwagwugwu and Dr Ishola did per time lectures @ a Private uni earning about 200k+ their Unilag salary..If you are good in independent research you can give it a shot..would definitely be worth it at the end.

Yep Dr Nwaogwugwu is my guy. Very sound economist. He told us to be the best at what we do. But his exam is another story.

I find that hard to believe. When someone has B.SC in Accounting is called accountant, B.Sc in Sociology is a soociologist, B.Sc in Economics is now called what?
I will be done with my Bachelor's degree in economics in two months, and on getting my degree, what will i be called? grin grin
Lol even Lecturers would tell you with a Bsc in General Economics you are not there yet...you've got to have a specialisation..like Financial/Monetary, Agricultural/Development, International/Labour...and until you have an ACCA/ICAN you are not yet an Accountant..Just choose...

Career / Re: Please ADVICE: 2.2 And Masters Abroad by scoobs: 5:21pm On Aug 23, 2015
LOL Advice.. B4 you go abroad check the Travel section..the USA Canda and UK threads..listen if you plan to go abroad for masters to return immediately to Nig UK is the best for you..even in cost and duration. If you plan to stay back dnt try the Uk. With a second classs lower + a good GRE score you would get into a TierB US school and could be offered part scholarship. For canada even a graduate with a second class upper might not be be admitted for a masters Degree they consider so many other things then again the difficulty is in getting the Visa. Germany is also good too and they are way cheaper compared to other countries..you only have to consider your living expenses. Personally USA and Germany would be preferred. Don't even ignore the nairaland travel section.. Start from the UK thread.

ayooluwatoni:

Why do you wanna complicate issues for yourself? It's one thing to get admission it's another to get visa. Pls just go for masters.....you can try masters in Economics. If your cgpa is above 3.0, then try applying for Economics. Just apply to at least two schools.....and u should be fine. Why go to diploma in social work, when u just got a bsc in Accounting. ......u'll really put the VO in a terrible position to ascertain your purpose of visit, which is most likely possible to come out with a refusal on the grounds of purpose of visit....and most times, purpose of visit comes with personal assets, travel history (for persons holding virgin passport) and other confusing reasons.
only 3.5 would get that not 3.0

Travel / Re: 15 Reasons To Use A Travel Agent by scoobs: 12:58pm On Aug 20, 2015
worry359:
So called THIEF travel agent in Nigeria is a different animal to those from the rest of the world.
Many Nigerian so called agents just charge fees to do something that can be done yourself for free.
The add lies and fake documents to peoples applications supposedly to boost their chances,
but the lies bounce back and people end up being banned.
Many also take fees and deliver nothing.
We saw one evil THIEF agent recently that wanted to get someones visa cancelled because of a falling out.

Think very hard before placing your future and funds in the hands of any THIEF agent.
Especially those stealing free advertising here with only yahoo address and mobile phone numbers.

SO do you suggest Economics for me and them ICAN or ACCA?
Yes perfect Economics isn't hard..an Employer would be bored with your CV if you have Bsc Accounting plus ICAN/ACCA, that would mean all you know is accounting. Unlike you having Econs + ACCA. Ur choice.

Pls combine both a chemistry graduate can easily become an accountant..Bsc Economics+ICAN/ACCA would be preferred for a managerial role...unlike you doing all accounting no diversity...my ACCA lecturer studied medical physiology and he is still an accountant. I studied economics too Being knowledgeable in Economics and Accounting is surely an asset.

This suggests that your school is not a University, but a lower college.

10 hours a week if you are studying a course that is below degree level at a "higher education institution"
10 hours a week if you have immigration permission as a Tier 4 (Child) Student.

if its a college she won't even be given any hours at all going by the new rules. It might have to do with her scholarship.
