Faisal I know you answered this Q once before but if it's possible u or someone else can answer this query for others who might have hte same problem....
What are the options for someone with minimal educational background in accounting (electives/minor) but their bachelor's degree is totally different field? Professional experience is pretty much zero. How can they still somehow manage to get into this field (i.e., what is the most "bottom" one can work ther way up from?) while potentially studying for the accting degree as well?
Well you can join some of the professioanl accounting institute which do not require internship to sit and pass their exams. Examples are:
Institute of Cost & Management Accountants of Pakistan (ICMAP)
Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (UK)
Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (UK)
Society of Management Accountants, Canada
Certified Management Accountants, USA
I myself had my majors in Botany, Microbiology and Biochemistry but later I passed ICAMP exams. And now I am in this profession.
I did my bachelors in accounting too. I did a few internships and was working at a firm, but it wasnt working for me. I am possibly looking into other field in business/finance.
I wasnt sure about the qualifications for CA, but Faisal bhai explained them pretty well.
Can you go into auditing or are there other requirements for that?

What were you doing in the firm, if I may ask? Yes you can go into auditing with a bachelors in accounting, in the U.S at least.
and finally, whats the most exciting profession within the accounting firm? financial accountancy, managerial accountancy, taxation, auditing etc?..
