CA Degree Losing Value as Professionals Urged to Shift Strategy

Imagine a special certificate, like a Chartered Accountant (CA) degree, used to be a golden ticket to a good job with good pay.

A banker named Sarthak Ahuja, who has this certificate himself, wrote a popular message saying this ticket isn't as valuable anymore.

He explained that even though more people are passing the CA exam, they aren't getting paid as much as they used to.

He thinks this is because many CAs are still doing the same old jobs, like just checking numbers and filling out tax forms.

Ahuja believes CAs need to become more like business helpers, figuring out how to make money for companies, helping them grow, or managing money for rich people.

He said the CA certificate is good for making sure you can get a basic job, but to earn a lot and be successful, you need smart business ideas and to do things differently.

Other people online agreed, saying CAs should be like versatile Swiss Army knives, ready for many tasks, not just simple calculators.
