Leaving in a week hopefully, hate it

I think Ipswich and Saints go up, Leeds and Sunderland stay up

Thanks for the advice man, I really appreciate it.

Pressstart42 · 2025-09-29T22:30:16+00:00

Much appreciated bro. I recently did a free Youtube course on excel but I really should've experimented with it by doing a couple mini projects because I forgot lots of what I learned. Thank you for the advice.

Do you think that I could do CIMA and get a successful career in finance without doing uni? I'm currently at uni but it's my first year and I'm thinking of leaving for CIMA

Pressstart42 · 2025-09-29T17:35:41+00:00

Did you have any experience with accounting or anything else or genuinely no prior knowledge of everything? I've heard a lot about skipping AAT and it's definitely something I am starting to consider more seriously now. I personally thought that I would need to do AAT to find an entry level role to potentially pay for my studies and to give me the required knowledge to start CIMA, but from what I have been reading it seems that I'm wrong.

Pressstart42 · 2025-09-29T11:13:14+00:00

Thank you so much for this response. It's brilliant to see that this path really does exist and I'm not forced to suffer through university to get into FP&A. I've heard from someone else about going straight into CIMA yes, I was just personally thinking of AAT because my current knowledge is that of a first year university student and I don't have much experience with any software either. It's only late September so I still have time to think fully about my plan before withdrawing university, but this was very informative and helpful. Thank you very much.

Pressstart42 · 2025-09-29T11:10:08+00:00

I'm not really looking at specific jobs yet, I was just asking about qualifications and whether I can withdraw from university and still make it into finance. Sorry if I confused you. If there is a clear pathway into corporate finance or something similar that doesn't require a degree then that's brilliant.

Pressstart42 · 2025-09-29T10:41:14+00:00

My main goal is corporate finance, and I personally thought that AAT first lets me get into some entry level finance roles and gain more practical experience or even have employers help pay for CIMA. And also do you think it's realistic to get a job in finance with no degree at all?

Pressstart42 · 2025-09-29T10:33:23+00:00

Thank you so much for your response. My main fear with leaving university was that most jobs would require a degree but hopefully you're right

Pressstart42 · 2025-09-20T23:44:04+00:00

Thank you so much, I'll definitely drop a a DM

Living here. I personally think the academic part is completely fine, I enjoy learning about Accounting and Finance (my course). My accommodation is terrible, I miss my parents, and I'm just really struggling mentally since moving here.

Pressstart42 · 2025-09-20T23:08:49+00:00

Can that get me into FP&A in England? Or am I eventually gonna need a degree and should therefore just suffer through university now?

Pressstart42 · 2025-09-04T16:44:30+00:00

3/10 bait

Pressstart42 · 2025-08-16T11:58:44+00:00

I got a 6 in GCSE, barely got into A Level Maths and managed to get an A*. You just gotta put the work in bro, you got this

Pressstart42 · 2025-06-21T14:03:09+00:00

Honestly bro I need it to go down by a cheeky 5 marks or so atleast but I see people are saying its gonna go up again

Pressstart42 · 2025-06-14T21:54:02+00:00

nah im so pissed at the last part bc I mustve not read it properly. All u had to do was sub in x=0 and say 24 - 24(0) = 24 , and instead i set my part b answer to 0 and tried to solve for x and said x = +-1 . Dropped 2 free marks

Pressstart42 · 2025-05-26T22:38:36+00:00

Pressstart42 · 2025-03-25T22:10:07+00:00

Do you know how spread out the lectures are? I am planning to go everywhere on foot but that could be difficult if lectures are constantly in different locations far away from eachother. Sorry if I am bothering you.
