Answer:
Counselor: Hi there!
Vivek: Hello, I am Vivek.
Counselor: Welcome to Career Solutions. I am Tanya. Tell me, how can I help you?
Vivek: I needed some assistance regarding my career choices. I am in a quandary and not able to decide what would be the best option for me.
Counselor: Sure thing, I will help you in the best way possible so that you can take the best decision for your future.
Vivek: Yes, please. I am thoroughly confused.
Counselor: Sure, let’s start. Have you taken the aptitude test?
Vivek: Yes, I appeared for it last week only.
Counselor: That’s great. So I will be asking you a series of question, some of them could be personal. By personal, I mean they would concern your family. Is that okay?
Vivek: Yes, it is absolutely fine. Please proceed.
Counselor: Okay. So, you are from the commerce stream, right?
Vivek: Yes, that is correct.
Counselor: What made you take the commerce stream after Class Xth?
Vivek: I come from a business background. My father deals in imports and exports so he suggested me this would the best academic line for me.
Counselor: So this was not your choice?
Vivek: I am fine with it. I love mathematics and accounting, and the science field did not interest me.
Counselor: That’s great. So you are looking to get into the field of finance and accounting?
Vivek: I am extremely confused! People have suggested me to go for C.A., while others have recommended to go for B.Com, while still others are telling to do Statistics. I can’t do them all!
Counselor: I see. We have an interesting dilemma here. But from what you have told me, you love mathematics and accounting, right?
Vivek: Yes indeed.
Counselor: I would suggest you go for C.A. then, because that is core finance and will make you far more adept than doing B.Com or Statistics. Most students who opt for the latter two courses go for MBA also for more career options.
Vivek: Oh, that means C.A. is more beneficial? What’s the employment situation like for those who do C.A.?
Counselor: It is excellent. The Big 4 accounting and audit firms- EY, Deloitte, KPMG, and PWC offer great packages if you are a C.A. and good at your job. Apart from these, there are many other firms as well that provide good employment opportunities.
Vivek: That’s good to hear. I want to get into my family business only after gaining 10 years of corporate experience.
Counselor: I would suggest you start studying earnestly for C.A. Selection is difficult but the rewards are immense if you get through.
Vivek: Thank you so much. On a note of caution, should I also enroll in a B.Com course? What if I don’t get crack the exam?
Counselor: Yes indeed. I was going to suggest that only. That will ensure you don’t waste year after year preparing for C.A. exams only.
Vivek: Great. This was really enlightening. I am now clear what my next step should be. Thanks again!
Counselor: Happy to help you Vivek. If you found our services useful, would request you to leave a review on our official website!
Vivek: I will do that for sure. Thank you!
