CA Vs BE!!

There has been lot of discussion on topics like CA vs MBA and Indian CA vs foreign accounting qualifications. But I have never seen anything on CA vs BE!

One may say that this is because it will be comparing apple with orange. I think it actually depends on the timing of the comparison. Like, if you still need to decide on the subject to be choosen after 10th, this may be a very useful comaprison.

I have seen such discussions are only done while deciding professional qualifications which is more of comparing one apple with other because anyhow at this time one cannot decide to change the basic domain or subject.

Till recently, I was proud to be a CA and could easily conclude it to be a right career decision. But, this was best only between the options I have after selecting commerce as my domain. If I look little back and try to see what would I have done if I have same understanding of the things which I have now, I would have probably selected science!

One reason why I selected commerce was probably that I was not good in science subjects and so thought to try for commerce (without knowing anything about it). I should say that I was afraid of science (atleast to some extent) because I had no specific interest in commerce (logically).

Though even now if I think, I can't say that whether I would have a better career in science or not. I am not talking in terms career growth here because competition is every where and it all depends on self to excel in the given field.

What I am trying to say here is, if we like to call ourslef knowledge workers, engineering is one domain which is the most important knowledge required for growth of any country or economy. Fortunately I have started realizing this fact and so trying to appreciate it in this blog.

An "engineer" is the person who knows the concept of "creation" and not just analyzing something which is already exisitng. They have very rare attributes of innovation and reasoning. They have a mind to understand from basics to advance of everything because of their strong fundamental knowledge about the nature and material.

This is the reason (I have observed) that they are exceling in all the fields like finance, management or technology. I am not making number of billionaires as my criteria here. but if you see people who are shining in professional capaity are basically "engineers".

But this is not true for all people who have "any" enginerring degree. Irrespective of the institute, what is important is ones understanding of the concepts of creation (which means from basic).
