Okay so I'm an AAT qualified (low/medium level) 'Accountant' from the UK, currently at a crossroads as to which way I'm undecided to go and therefore stagnating.
I have two options as far as I can see:
The first one is to take the obvious route as an accountant and become Chartered which I'm highly confident in my ability to do acheive. From there I can stay in accounting working into senior positions (who earn a mediocre £30K-£40K) or I undestand with the Chartered qualification branch out into over finance such as banking and investment potentially earning much more.
My second option is a complete segway. My Dad is in his 50's who has been running his successcful 'one man band' plumbing business for decades (Gas and regular). He has and is reguarly turning away jobs due to having a full diary and being unwilling to deal with the hassle and potential screw ups of contraacting the work. With every job turned down is potentially another two missed off the back of it, in my opinion he should really be taking on staff in one way or another to cope with the demand and build.
I have little to no experience in his profession but he has offered to fast track me through the necessary courses and qualifications due to his inside contacts if I was to effectively join him in someway. My curiosity has been peaked as he has minimum online presence which indicates another large scope for growth here also.
It boils down to should I stick with what I know, as I quite like the idea off being a suited business man in London or grow and eventually own a business which I also rather fancy.
My social skills can be very poor and borderline social anxiety (if it needs a name), I don't know if this affects which options to take but thought it was worth a mention. (I'm working on them and not always a problem as I can nearly always smash job interviews but suck at more casual interctions)
Thank you in advance for any contribution,
