moreee options

I was discussing with sb online about ACCA

And we came to the conclusion that ACCA is really expensive. Think 1 module is $460, excluding revision lecture. And if we get exemption, we have 10 modules, meaning we have to prepare around $6000+. If no exemption, we have 14 modules, and we will have to prepare 7000+

So I went on to consider my second option, human resource

I used to think that HR is useless, nothing much to do type. But my attachment taught me otherwise. Being posted to the regional human resource department I think is one of the luckiest thing that happened in my whole 3 years of poly life

Its not everyday I can get to handle housing and other benefits for all the expatriates, organize birthday parties every month for the employees, filling tax and speaking on the phone(in Chinese somemore!) with landlords and agents to push them for invoices.

But sadly, I surf the net for human resources uni degrees and I think human resources is only an elective in the business degree.

Bah…
That was before I came across this on the MDIS website:
