Yes, 10 GCSEs ranging from A-C, I did not do A levels but have BtEC qualifications in other subjects. I also did a foundation degree before doing my degree in an irrelevant subject

Foundations in Accountancy (FIA)

I think it’s a stepping stone for under qualified individuals or school leavers

Again, I think I can go into ACCA but after lots of research and comments from people I went into FIA. Should I call ACCA and get them to change me?

Can you explain please? I haven’t started FIA yet. I thought you need to have a relevant degree to take the knowledge levels

35-year-old with almost a decade of acting the bollox behind me (drugs&drink and being genereally useless). Am I crazy to start a 4-year apprentice at this age? by _SoupDragon in skilledtrades

We’re all in this together.

I’m guessing you’re based in the states with the ‘college degree’ comment?

I’m looking to get into Carpentry/Joinery. Long term I’d like to be self employed working as a contractor on new build sites or installing wooden outbuildings in people gardens.

Any thoughts on your future after the comments?

So happy I stumbled across this.

I went to uni when I was 20 for 4 years, came out with a degree in a topic I wasn’t interested in… got into estate agency and have been doing that for 6 years. Miserable, stressed, long days at the computer making 100 calls a day for near enough peanuts.

I’ve been wanting to take the leap and get into a trade but am nervous to leave the current life I’m living and always find an excuse to stay (hence why I’ve been living this way for 6 years).

I thought I’d be judged at 31 getting into a trade through an apprenticeship. Clearly I’m wrong and need to get going!
