CA

Hi Manoranjan,
CA is one of the good career option as it offers good career prospects and excellent growth opportunities.
Please remember Chartered accountancy is the core of all business, be it big or small. A chartered accountant's work involves auditing, taxation, accounting and financial planning. It can be a very challenging and rewarding job.
All those companies which are registered under the Companies Act are required to get their accounts audited only by practicing Chartered Accountants.
So a qualified Chartered Accountant has the opportunity to join the Government Service, Public Sector and private sector.
Few job types under this field: -
- Finance Managers.
- Financial Analysis.
- Financial Planning.
- Financial Advisors.
- Directors.
- Financial Controllers.
Generally candidates holding CA inter-qualification are paid somewhere between Rs 7,500 and 15,000 depending on the type of firm.
Payments can be higher for candidates possessing other qualifications such as M.Com or an MBA.
On the other hand starting salaries can be as little as Rs 4,500 to 5,000 in some small towns of the country.
For CA Final (FCA): Starting salaries range between Rs 12,000 to 30,000 depending on the type of firm and nature of the economy.
A full fledged CA can expect a salary between Rs 30,000 to 75,000 after serving a stint of more than 5 years at a top firm.

As Neda has mentioned, there are lot of courses you can look at. People in general have a wrong notion, that an MBA will get them their dream job. The scenario is slowly changing. Your first priority should be to list down your strengths or skill sets. Just to cite an example, if I say my strengths are excellent oral communication and listening skill, discipline, ability to handle pressure, good presence of mind, patience and so on, one area where I can look at making my career, is sales. You have to match your skill sets with the function which requires your skill sets. You have to be brutally honest with yourself. Once you identify the function and decide to make your career, your priority should be to gain exposure to all areas which come under the function or profile. Money will automatically follow. Always remember, that a person is paid for his skill and not his qualification

Not to confuse the two as being similar. Simply because, these courses train individuals for 2 completely different specialisations. Thus the job opportunities that are available are fairly different.
While C.A. trains students in various Chartered Accounting related areas such as financial accounting, auditing, cost accounting, tax and accounting management and various aspects concerning the formation or foundation of a company. C.S. deals with all the aspects that a Company Secretary is involved in. When the idea of the formation of a company is conceived a C.S'. role comes to play. With his emergence he is placed in a unique position vis-a-vis the Board of Directors.
