When I was 23 (10+ years ago now), the only jobs that were associated with some level of prestige and status were your typical CA stream journeys, BSc, etc. At 33, I can tell you for certain that there’s more money outside of accounting than within it. More career flexibility too, which turned out to be very important to me. Follow your heart, but before you do, follow a plan ❤ (Edit: I was also a Top 10 matriculant, but in 2007. S/o to us)
Best comment ever! ‘Follow your heart, but before you do, follow a plan’ Thought about this so much I had to come up with an alternative plan. I do have a plan, just that the plan has nothing to do with being a CA anymore. Glad someone said this. I always hear people say they want to be CAs just for the bag, but at same time ain't looking for opportunities outside of the CA route that offer more money...
I am doing my second year articles, and I have decided I will not do 3rd year. I am going back to what I wanted to do from the beginning, and that is being a teacher. I never wanted to be a CA(SA), I followed this route because of my background. Earlier this year, I had a near death experience and was in hospital for 2 months, it was at that point that I decided I will live my life for me, I will make decisions myself. I am going back to University next year to do PGCE.
Paul speaks about this in the book, that we tend to become aware of what really matters to us in times of crisis. When you have a near death crisis or a similar experience…
You are a force to be recorned . Im currently facing the same challenge i finally got accepted in medicine after years of trying,im doing my second year in engineering. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity as this my actual dream and passion im scared of dropping engineering n disappointing my parents. i too. Dont see myself working in corporate having a 9 to 5 in an office as an engineer working for someone's company.i want to impact lives and actually make a difference to real people. I believe god planted this vision for a reason in you & me . Other people won't understand because the vision is not in them but, u n u only . Good luck bro ❤
Follow your heart. Both qualifications are challenging but worth it at the end. But choose your hard, which of the 2 will allow you to enjoy the process rather than being fixated on the results. Life is too short to not enjoy what you do everyday.
I made my decision 4 years ago 😂 in my first year of Bcom Accounting. It's tough but nothing in this world is worth fighting for what you truly 💯 belive in .. NB I'm also following the path of entrepreneurship (in Tech)
This will change you how you see things...listen it's not school or the qualification that makes you great. But what you do with your education. I can tell you now that the success rate will be exponential once he finds what to do with what he knows. I support the decisions well and commend his bravery.
You need to read the book of ecclesiastes in the bible. That peace and satisfaction you're looking for is not found in the things of this world. It's found in Jesus Christ.
I have no doubt that whatever you end up doing, you will certainly succeed. Being confused is part of growing and you had to make a decision of which i believe that it was not an easy one as you were nearing the end to CA(SA).
I wish you well with entrepreneurship, may your God help you realise your vision and keep you on the path of your purpose. Your courage is admirable, go on and craft your legacy!
I totally understand, because I'm sort of like in the same situation. I'm in my third year of university doing education. Its truly not something I want to do, I want to start my own buisness, open my own salon, be an entrepreneur. I've been getting advice from a lot of people and they all say the same thing: Finish your degree then you'll do what you want....but at the end of the day, they are not in mt shoes and dont understand. At this point, I really dont wanna do it anymore. I dont even want to finish. So it brings some sort of comfort to hear someone like you, who thinks like i think.
Trust me, they mean well when they say finish the degree first. It’s cause they know how unpredictable life is. I’m no life coach but if I were u I would rather finish cause 3rd year you’re almost there. This life is tough. You don’t always get what you want. Even if you’re ambitious and you work hard it might not turn out good for you. Just be safe and finish that degree babes. I’m giving this advice with love ❤️. Plus, if you really got drive like that you can always start your entrepreneurial journey while in school. It’s not impossible.
Go for it Blessing. Wishing you all the best. I am 31, CA also from UCT and wish I had a year which I gave entrepreneurship a go as well. Keep winning mate
@@blessingmlambo_ Depends. I mean just this week a 33 year old CA(SA) sold his company for 70 million dollars / R1.4billion. So CA(SA) can also help with entrepreneurship.
Take the decision that is best suited for yourself at this point in time. Should you change your mind after a year, or three, or five, you can always apply for articles and continue the CA(SA) route, or find something else to do within your interests. I wish you well on your journey of entrepreneurship and it will work out just as you expect it to.
Very inspiring brother!..mine's a similar story, pursued the CA route and discovered much more in entrepreneurship.. One thing I can say to you.. Go for it! You're headed into the right direction. All the best! 👊🏼💯
I think so as well. I love Agribusiness and Agriculture. But I managed to graduate with Hons in Accounting. I recently completed my MBA in Agribusiness and Food Chain Management. I'm currently a farmer and I love what I do.
Don’t support it considering your position but it sounds like you really thought about it and I’m also a big believer of listening to one’s instincts, that little voice within will always tell you what you should be focusing on ,so shoutout for the bravery 🔥🔥All the best and let me handle your books when you finally make it😅

Man, that was a tough decision to make, but with God by your side 🙏🏿❤️, He will carry you in this journey that you're embarking on. This video was speaking to me personally, I'm in first year studying Economic sciences, and what I can say is that, I have a similar thing to you, which is not wanting to go into corporate. I want to study Teaching, specifically economics in high school, but 😢😢 I am scared due to societal expectations, and my Accounting teacher from high school discouraged me. I'm just confused. This video just woke up that thought that is haunting me.
I’d say do what you love man. Define what success means for you and chase that. You can continue with Economics degree and after you complete it you to a Postgraduate Diploma in Education or something and you stand better chance of teaching in model C schools
I know people who just did the CA route and decided not to work as full-time accountants after. Just like you have to finish your vegetables, just finish your journey, you can always do what you want after - there's nothing to lose. You will atleast get something out of it, its a win-win.
I will finish my vegetable which is my Honours, but that doesn’t mean I have to then go to corporate the CA route. I can choose another path like management consulting, or any other role. Not going to do that but guess the point I’m tryna make is there’re so many career paths after Honours other than the obvious and expected one…
@blessingmlambo_ I would have agreed with your decision if your passion was in an entirely different field. But the CA route will teach you to be a mainstream entrepreneur. You'll learn the soft skills, like business etiquette, relationship management and also allow you to build network of skilled people with both your fellow trainees and people with high positions in big businesses - which you can use to be very prominent in entrepreneurship. I would advise you have a chat with a CA(SA) in business before making a drastic decision. Of course its a free country and world but, consider it :) !
Hi there, I moved from studying Actuarial Sciences at UP to B. Accounting at UJ. Actuary was really not my thing, felt too abstract and disconnected. So glad I changed over. Now I’ve graduated under grad, I work in projects as a cost and procurement controller studying CIMA, definitely not the traditional article route but it has turned out well. The accounting firms do not pay so well and I found that I am not into auditing at all
Bright people can do well in any academic field, that's a dilemma because you are presented with many options. Go for your passion. I got a Quantity Surveying qualification just because I was told to and found out it's not what I like career wise. I have always been more of a Creative Design person because the results/products are clear and recognizable. You are either good or not. Quantity Surveying is more like Accounting but of a very detailed nature. The results are hard to measure and often not appreciated. It's more about corporate bullsheet and a pseudo profession. I advise you to go straight into tendering, procurement and subcontracting if you can put up a team of skilled persons. I have seen guys with no experience or qualifications in the profession using this tactic. Within a year or two, they are driving big cars.
I like what you said. Bright people can do well in any academic field. And it’s crazy how people tend to associate doing well with this is for you they don’t realise if you were in another field you’d still do well, does that mean that thing is for you as well?
@@blessingmlambo_ I am crurrently doing my second year in Computer Engineering at Tuks U.Pretoria , man I have been failing academically, so I started to look for other things to do while studying and I have been failing to find something to learn how to make money till I became a private tutor. Now I feel like this is my passion because after doing a session I feel alive. So now I planned to go all in.
Thats what life is all about,finding something you are called to do. Shout out for the tough decision you took man. Wishing success in your entreprenuership journey.
Definitely. One of the lessons in the book says ‘not until we loose the world do we start finding ourselves’🔥. Life is a constant journey of finding yourself. Sadly some people die before they ever find themselves.
I truly understand and respect your decision.. I'm also gonna sound like your family and friends now lol.. Dude, not everyone is as smart as you, so I support you being a CA because its actually possible and clear.. I heard CAs bag a lot of money and retire young lol, just planting a seed.. The older you get, the more priorities will change so think about that too. Good luck with your decision!
My bro, I attempted CTA once, failed and decided it was not for me so I went to work in corporate. I’ll say know that when it comes to entrepreneurship, it’s an old man’s game, and a brutal one at that…people will hope to see you fail so they can say “I told you so” rather complete you CTA
Hi Blessing 🎉what the name of the book again and where did you get it pulizi... I'm glad I came across your channel, Im planning to university at age 48 well I will be 49 then, I've never finished my previous academics and I feel like I disappointed my mother and myself as well 😢, however it's not something I'm looking forward to as I have other interests than studying 😮I'm in limbo... I'm conflicted it's not even funny...it's shocking how life and interest change as we grow older, i was layed off 7 years ago and told myself I will never ever work for anyone ever again😔🤷♂️ Apparently I'm planning to document my journey here on TH-cam as well soon 🎉 I would also like to host interested individuals to share their journeys as well😂❤
I think you should still write IAC thus you’d still have the option to return to the journey in the future without having to redo CTA But all the best with entrepreneurship! 😁
@@chrisandradlamine8683 Last time I checked CTA also lasts for 3 years. So I can still return to the CA journey within 3 years if need be. Thank you sm❤️
@@blessingmlambo_yes but you have to write the exam within those 3 years. You only have 6 attempts over those years if it makes sense. So if you decide to return to the path it may be too late Additionally, the pass rates of subsequent attempts are usually not cute that’s why the preference is to write the first available paper after you graduate. Again, all the best you’re super brave for choosing the unknown and betting on yourself 🎉
Pray so God can direct your path and not to waste your youth, you need God guidance enemie has come to kill steal and destroy don't allow confusion God is not the uathor of confusion only the devil, ask for Devine wisdom.
Hey bro, Nathan here... I'm one of your biggest admirers honestly and I'm happy for you with whatever you want to do, you are extremely matured and hardworking but I really really think you should complete your article and become a CA(SA). being an entrepreneur is a life long journey that people go on with till their late 60s and 70s . Being a CA(SA) is the highest designation in the world in this field and you get to travel and expand your experience, knowledge and mind. It gives you a whole different life and at the same time you can build your businesses which whether you take the route or not will still the same process of patience, hard work, ups and downs and many similar moments. Continue this journey you started bro That's just me though, anything you do I'm sure you have made the right decision for you which I'm also happy about for you considering how far you've come
Thanks for the wise words. I like what you said. No matter what I choose it will be the same process of patience, hardwork, ups and downs. But the journey becomes more bearable when you love what you do, and you find it as an interesting challenge…
😅 I am in similar dilemma, finding it difficult on how I can merge my interest in finance and tech to find something that enables me flexibility e.g. set my own working hours. I recently completed PGD in Accounting.
Blessing M I have confusion that is it possible to get invited by MEC or Minister of edu in top matric achievers doing the subjects as follows : Pure math Economic Accounting CAT and other compulsory subjects, so please I need your help 🙏
@@blessingmlambo_ . My story differs in that I didn't go for something I thought I was good in , I went for something I thought I liked but after getting exposed to it , I realised it's different from what I thought it was . I still like learning about the field but I don't see myself working in that field. Luckily my degree allow 2 majors , and I feel like I resonate with the second major , such that I find some careers appealing In this field. When I tell ppl about my 1st major , for them it's a fascinating field , but for me it doesn't mean much though I value the knowledge , I feel like I could have co-majored in sth that was gonna add value/ complement my 2nd mjr.
People who are successful entrepreneurs who didn’t go the corporate route they will tell you it’s a waste of time, but people in corporate they will tell you it’s also the way to go.
But you could be an entrepreneur and CA at the same time chief. In fact, the CA title will give you more credibility and opportunities in your entrepreneurship journey.
Good day. May you please provide more inforamtion about your tutoring company, i need Accounting lessons currently in my first year Bachelor of Accounting degree. 10:30

@@THEMBA. I’m almost done with my Honours so going to complete that. The only thing I’m not continuing with is doing articles to follow the CA route… That’s why I said what’s the worst that can happen if I have 2 degrees…
Currently a Candidate Attorney at Top 5 and I realised in 3rd year that I didn’t wanna be a lawyer but any case I continued. Now I’m the most unhappy and in conflict with myself
Finish your articles. It gives you the edge over ordinary law graduates. You don't have to practise. Wherever you end up working, you will be viewed favourably, as an admitted attorney. Articles are a baptism of fire. In my time we felt like upgraded messengers, but we hung in there. Most importantly, if you finish your articles you have you are never stranded for post retirement work. You work as a legal consultant. Tribunals will give you preference for part time work. So will Boards. Equip yourself.

@@chrisandradlamine8683 Last time I checked CTA also lasts for 3 years. So I can still return to the CA journey within 3 years if need be.
Thank you sm❤️
@@blessingmlambo_yes but you have to write the exam within those 3 years. You only have 6 attempts over those years if it makes sense. So if you decide to return to the path it may be too late
Additionally, the pass rates of subsequent attempts are usually not cute that’s why the preference is to write the first available paper after you graduate.
Again, all the best you’re super brave for choosing the unknown and betting on yourself 🎉
Amazing bro
Thanks bro🔥
All the best my brother ❤ i got 93% Accounting doing BAcc but i lost interest I've decided to go for Actuarial Sciences 😢
All the best bro🔥. You’ll crush it.
Pray so God can direct your path and not to waste your youth, you need God guidance enemie has come to kill steal and destroy don't allow confusion God is not the uathor of confusion only the devil, ask for Devine wisdom.
Thank you for this🤍.
Hey bro, Nathan here... I'm one of your biggest admirers honestly and I'm happy for you with whatever you want to do, you are extremely matured and hardworking but I really really think you should complete your article and become a CA(SA). being an entrepreneur is a life long journey that people go on with till their late 60s and 70s . Being a CA(SA) is the highest designation in the world in this field and you get to travel and expand your experience, knowledge and mind. It gives you a whole different life and at the same time you can build your businesses which whether you take the route or not will still the same process of patience, hard work, ups and downs and many similar moments. Continue this journey you started bro
That's just me though, anything you do I'm sure you have made the right decision for you which I'm also happy about for you considering how far you've come
Thanks for the wise words. I like what you said. No matter what I choose it will be the same process of patience, hardwork, ups and downs. But the journey becomes more bearable when you love what you do, and you find it as an interesting challenge…
Do you think you’re doing what you want to do?
how do i start entrepreunaship please help
You remind me of my younger self. Feels like DeJa'Vu.
lol interested to hear your story now😄
😅 I am in similar dilemma, finding it difficult on how I can merge my interest in finance and tech to find something that enables me flexibility e.g. set my own working hours. I recently completed PGD in Accounting.
Blessing M I have confusion that is it possible to get invited by MEC or Minister of edu in top matric achievers doing the subjects as follows :
Pure math
Economic
Accounting
CAT
and other compulsory subjects, so please I need your help 🙏
@@KamoheloJosephMaduna-q6b Yes it’s possible.
🤔 I can partially relate .
What’s your story? I’m interested now…
@@blessingmlambo_ . My story differs in that I didn't go for something I thought I was good in , I went for something I thought I liked but after getting exposed to it , I realised it's different from what I thought it was . I still like learning about the field but I don't see myself working in that field. Luckily my degree allow 2 majors , and I feel like I resonate with the second major , such that I find some careers appealing In this field.
When I tell ppl about my 1st major , for them it's a fascinating field , but for me it doesn't mean much though I value the knowledge , I feel like I could have co-majored in sth that was gonna add value/ complement my 2nd mjr.
Its always the boring stuff that brings a lot of MONEY. Finish your CA while running your business. Study while you're still single and young.
Finish your CA bro, it is worth it.
I feel like sometimes people give advices on what worked for them, or what they wish they could’ve done.
People who are successful entrepreneurs who didn’t go the corporate route they will tell you it’s a waste of time, but people in corporate they will tell you it’s also the way to go.
But you could be an entrepreneur and CA at the same time chief.
In fact, the CA title will give you more credibility and opportunities in your entrepreneurship journey.
Man I am writing Accounting on Monday and I just wanna ask what can on this weekend that can guarantee me that 90%+?
I’d say do atleast 2 Past Papers this weekend. Do question paper mark it give yourself a total, and do second question paper and do the same thing…
@@blessingmlambo_ Thanks man for the advice 🙏🙏

@@THEMBA. Did you watch the full video Themba?
Yes ,by you asking i will just assume i missed something
@@THEMBA. I’m almost done with my Honours so going to complete that. The only thing I’m not continuing with is doing articles to follow the CA route… That’s why I said what’s the worst that can happen if I have 2 degrees…
Best of luck with your new journey man

Finish your articles. It gives you the edge over ordinary law graduates. You don't have to practise. Wherever you end up working, you will be viewed favourably, as an admitted attorney. Articles are a baptism of fire. In my time we felt like upgraded messengers, but we hung in there.
Most importantly, if you finish your articles you have you are never stranded for post retirement work. You work as a legal consultant. Tribunals will give you preference for part time work. So will Boards. Equip yourself.
