Dear all,

Thank you all for your comments! I must say that they are very encouraging and motivating!

I have started to look up for universities and now I will start the application process.

Dear "tester" can you please send me the list of universities that you recommend?

Thanks once again!

Hi all, I would like to get a better understanding regarding project management.

This year I have just finished my ACCA studies, and therefore now I am a fully qualified accountant. Currently I am working in an audit firm but my next step now that I would like is to continue my father's business. He is a director of a Mechanical and Electrical contracting company. I am very interested in this business since I enjoy working on projects and being on sites, not just at the office. I am considering taking a masters in project management, but would appreciate if someone can help me out.

My impression is that most project managers are architects or engineers that have experience in the field and therefore I wonder if it would be a good idea for me as an accountant to continue my studies in project management.

Therefore I would appreciate if you can give me some info about this subject and maybe can enlighten me about any prospects that there are in this field for a project manager with accounts background. I am also considering trying to find an apprenticeship with a foreign contracting company instead of doing the masters, but I believe this would be much harder to find a company to accept me as an apprenticeship.
