Brother!
Well my Big Brother wasn't very pleased about my plans regarding the CA foundation course at Deakin, especially since he'd have to pay for at least half of the relatively expensive investment. So I decided that I'll go in for CIMA entirely self-funded. In retrospect that's a good idea, since I'll also have a lot more market worth. Following up with a CA should get me places, especially if I can just get some good ERP/ BI experience in the meantime and hope my timing is right (I will be timing the job market demand, immigration policy and many other cycles). But this is probably going to take a lot more time.
