Most likely you can be a banker. However I believe that your hate for accounting will Manifest in terrible unthinkable ways, because your mainly going to be doing a lot of accounting. But I believe you can pull through and make the best of a difficult situation.

 

Depends on what kind of accounting. Failing accounting law and failing accounting analysis are two different things. If it's the latter I think you need to consider if IB is what you really want to do as it will involve reading financial statements and understanding different accounting practices.

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
 

i think that accounting in uni/college can be boring but it's essential to understand financial reporting.. even though Financial Reporting & Analysis is hard in CFA, I found it extremely useful. In life you'll have to do a lot of things that you don't like. It's easy to get top grades in the things that you like. It's getting top grades in things that you hate that separates you. My 2 cents? Sit down and push yourself through it because you'll need it. Don't just give up. You just need to put more time into it.

made new unrelated account - dont reply or message as i never use it.
