    Hi Eagledave

    That’s indeed very useful advice! Thanks a lot 🙂
    I was wondering to put this as a new thread post but I will chack it with you anyway, I was working as Production planner for over 7 years and was wondering if somehow I could use this or a part of this towards my 36 months of the PER ?

    Just in case you could guide me that?

    Like I said it was non relevant field for the most part but a part of my job did involve monitoring and updating overall factory throughputs and individual job yields and costs.

    Thanks

    Brilliant mate! Hope you are happy and content now!

    My journey is similar to yours I guess in terms of managing personal aspirations and the harsh realities of life!

    I come from a poor/humble family in Pakistan. I came to UK for studies and graduated with a 2:1 BA Hons in Business and Management from Cardiff, UK back in 2010. I always had this desire to pursue my career in accountancy and ACCA was obviously the next logical step but I couldn’t afford further studies since I had to support family back home and I could only do that if I stayed in the UK.
    I started working for a business who were happy to sponsor my tier 2 general for the next 5 years. it was a non accountancy role with more to do with planning, forecasting and supply chain side.
    It was a high pressure and stressful job and I couldn’t do anything else with it!
    Now that I have finally got my settlement status in the UK, the first thing I did was to quit that dead end unsatisfying job and study towards my ACCA, finally!! I am 32 years old but I am as determined and motivated as I was the first day in my Uni over 10 years ago. If I manage to be an established auditor by 40 that would be an achievement!

    So yeah life does take you on a bumpy and challenging journey but it all works out well in the end! I hope! Never give up on your dreams 🙂
