As parents, we all want the best for our children. Especially when it comes to their career.
In India, for decades, Chartered Accountancy (CA) has been seen as the “golden path” for commerce students. But times have changed.
Today, the world of finance, accounting, and business offers far more global, flexible, and faster career options, many of which your child may never hear about in school or through relatives.
As a career coach who guides hundreds of commerce students every year, let me share why your child doesn’t have to become a CA to succeed, and what meaningful, global alternatives exist in 2025.
Traditionally, CA was seen as:
BUT, here’s the reality in 2025:
Most importantly:
CA may not match your child’s strengths, interests, or personality.
Today’s commerce careers demand:
Best for students who want global finance careers without relocating for full-time foreign degrees.
Ideal for students who want faster entry into finance & management positions.
One of my students, Riya, was confused between CA and ACCA after 12th.
Together, we evaluated:
Today, at 22, she has completed ACCA and is working with a Big 4 firm in Dubai, without the stress and years of uncertainty that CA would have brought.
Don’t decide based on old information.
Understand your child’s:
Sit with a career counsellor or coach who understands both Indian and global career opportunities.
Remember:
The goal is not just a degree; the goal is a happy, successful, and future-ready career.
CA is still a good option for the right student.
But your child deserves to know that there’s a full world of commerce careers beyond CA.
As a career coach, I work with parents and students to build customized career maps that match both current industry demands and individual student potential.
