career change to accountancy, unsure on which way to go

Hello,

i am looking for advice on training to be an accountant. i am 20, and currently work as a security guard, which has no relevance to finance at all, but the advantage is i get paid to sit on my laptop and study. i started studying on Monday and am currently studying aprox 40 hours per week plus whatever time i do at home.

I have made my way through the majority of the F1 syllabus and am going to be booking my CBE shortly, before i do so im seeking advice on whether this is the correct path to take, and also what level i could be able to start seeking work within finance/accounting.

any advice would be great,

Thanks
James
