Hello, I am completely lost and I am looking for advice
Hello all,
I decided to register this fantastic forum previous a conversation with a friend who recommended for various reason. Among all reasons, I feel extremely confused and I think here I could find good advice and opinions. This confusion is because I have to decide in a few weeks the subject and the University of my MSc, which will be in Accounting, Finance or Economics, the order of preference of what I like or enjoy I would say is Economics > Finance > Accounting. AlThough, I think this scale also shows the complexity of each subject and that's why I am a bit scared of and I am looking for advice.
Background of the problem
My academic background it's full of "gaps". Basically I didn't study from 12 years old and I left the high school with 16. Later, with 20 years old I completed the adult examination equivalent to the high school. Afterwards, with 23 years old I did emigrated from my country looking forward a better life but without education you can imagine the kind of jobs I was performing because my English was very poor (didn't study English either at school btw, so sorry for grammar mistakes!).
Even though I always considered myself a very interpersonal person but I feel my logical mathematical is very poor because I notice it takes me usually longer than other people to comprehend.
With 25 years old, I decided to study a BA in Business Accounting and to be honest I did only want to study it because was tired of poor jobs. However, as the degree progressed I developed more interest in economics and finance, specially in anything related with analysis. I love analysing variables with regression, correlation OLS method and stuff like that forecasting hypotheses. My preseverance and willing to learn showed me that if you want something you can achieve it and at the end got a 2:1 in the degree (I honestly think I could achieve 1st with a bit more work) but five years ago I couldn't even imagine I would be graduate right now.
I think you have enough background information now because I certainly could write a book to explain the full story, but I don't want to take more of your time in case you read until this point.
The problem I am currently deciding is:
Should I go forward to the difficult what I like? (Finance or economics)
Or should I stay with the most realistic option considering I am not a logical mathemathical person going Accounting? (I am more interpersonal)
I have been offered at the moment:
*MSc Finance at Soas University
*MSc Economics at Birkbeck University
*MSc Global Finance at Coventry University
*MSc International Finance at London South Bank University
*Msc Applied Accounting at London South Bank University
In summary, I am looking for advice to any of these MSc based on:
1-What would be my best option if I go for Finance based on the syllabus?
2-With my current background, is it realistic to go Finance or should I go accounting?
Note that in LSBU,both programs provides exemptions to CIMA and ACCA, so it's far more practical than If i go to Finance because there are no exemptions for CFA as far as I know anywhere.
If you read all this, thank you for your time and consideration!
Way too descriptive and long, condense it to maybe 1/4 of what you have and I'm sure you'll get responses.
