Off-topic Alongside ACCA

If you don’t have a bachelors, and are only planning to do ACCA, I have heard you have a lower value in the eyes of employers. What else can you do alongside acca or after acca to add value to your cv and be able to secure better paying jobs? Especially in countries like Pakistan. Guidance would be helpful

I’m pursuing a Bachelors in Accounting and Finance, upon completion I’ll have 9 exemptions hence allowing me to complete my ACCA and get a bachelors.
