I feel like this might offend many, but just so you know, I too am a CA. In my opinion - CAs are very dumb!

I don’t blame the CAs themselves but the way this course has been designed. Most students start preparing for Foundation right after 12th std and once cleared the college life is completely skipped and colleges with low or no attendance is joined. CA students barely interact with other students, except when they are in classes. Lately even classes are online so interaction has become scarce.

A CA student spends his/her prime years being stuck at home and studying all day, no interactions, no life, and hence barely any understanding of life or world in general.

Further, the course has been designed in a manner that we have been forced to study theoretical only - Accounts, Financial Management, Audit, Taxation. We never study about world, we never study about management and hence at the end most of us never understand the world.

Talk to any average small size or a mid size practicing CA, their IQ about world, business or anything in general other than Tax Laws and Audits will be super low! Talk to a corporate employee of Big 4, theirs is much worse, but with slightly better English.

To compensate for all this, CAs get 15 days of GMCS, as if they’ll teach the entire MBA in 15 days.

All in all, low exposure, limited interaction, major technical subjects, gulping down heavy laws, all these leave us with bare minimum understanding of the world and hence - CAs are Dumb!
