hi everyone
I graduated in 2017 from banking and finance in Afghanistan I did FIA from ACCA in 2019 and I did job in public audit in 2020 after that I immigrated to Canada but now, I am doing odd jobs and plan to go back to School here, but I cannot decide between accounting school or any tech related like cloud or cyber security, I would really appreciate any advice, i am 30 yrs old now with 3 kids

It sounds like you’ve got a lot going on, but your experience in banking, finance, and public audit is valuable! If you're looking for stability and growth, tech fields like cybersecurity or cloud could be a solid choice, there's tons of demand and high earning potential. But if you're more passionate about accounting, that’s also a great path. Just depends on where your passion lies

thanks for the reply, tbh, I don't like any job but i am passionate about money and I have to make money as soon as possible I like to have my own business.
and i have a question that how much time it probably takes to land a job in Canada in my case because I am beginner to cloud or cyber security field, is it take too long for me compared to accounting field as I have already some backgrounds in this?
