Hi

I need some advice on ACCA course. I have just graduated from NUS with a major in Life Science. However, I would like to switch to the accounting field due to some reasons (do not like to work in biological lab).

If I complete ACCA, will i be able to get a job with salary at least $2000?

I am not considering SMU MPA as the cost is high and the timetable structure of the programme looks very stressful (4 semesters per year).

So in overall, which institution has more good lecturer? SAA or Kaplan?
How about facilities wise? (Classroom, library?)

wow....Starting pay got that high? Because I usually heard people say accounting grad has very low starting pay - around 1800 - 2000

if you can get into big4, the pay will be 2.6k-2.7k for fresh grad. However if you get a job out of big4, the pay varies.It will depend on the job and company you working for.(>$2,000 is very possible)

No fight, i sure choose kaplan. Orchard is such a nice and centred place. Pretty girls and handsome man, most of the place all aircon.

Saa need walk from mrt. The walk no aircon and shelter. I went there one time dun feel like going already liao.
