From where to do these diploma courses

You need to figure this out. There must be colleges or institutes in your city which will offer these diploma courses. My suggestion is not to leave your city for these courses. Remember these courses are only a stepping stone into your future career in the area of accounting and finance. To grow further you need more higher degrees and you should do those higher degrees from best of the colleges.

Going to another city adds up to you expenses. You will get an entry level job after diploma courses and hence it is not advisable to spend a fortune on this. Do it from you city. Assess your interest while doping this course. In the mean time keep looking for best courses and plan your future path based on that. Once you have decided what you want to do next, you can move on and may be change your city if needed.

Now that is my personal advice. You can take your own informed decision.

Closing Comments

Any course is worth it as it adds knowledge. It adds value to your life if you able to learn what it offers. Just by doing a course does not guarantee a high paying job. You need to constantly keep on upgrading yourselves. So if you just do diploma you may be start earning around 10,000 per month. But if you do not upgrade yourselves further, you will get stuck at that. So as I have mentioned before you need to use this time for planning and along with that get the basic understanding of area you are interested in. This will definitely push your career up!
