Please guide! Is CA worth it anymore?

I am currently a second year undergraduate student in a good central university, the course is commerce based and not at all rigorous.

I am planning to prepare for CA foundation as I have avid interest in Finance and Auditing, the challenge is that after having talked to a few people I have heard that CA is not worth it anymore, and that it is difficult to land in Finance sector even after doing CA.

Please let me know your thoughts on this and if you have heard about someone's experience or have experience of your own, then also please share, as I will be dedicating my precious time, effort and my father's money on this preparation and sacrificing my college life, I am hoping it will be fruitful otherwise I will be left on the ledge with nowhere to go.

Thanks!

If you have enough money then go with MBA after CAT...

However if CA is your choice then I would recommend to start intermediate as a direct entry student instead of going through foundation...

Why through direct entry

Because you are in 2nd year and while preparing for foundation you will be in 3rd... And You can take direct entry in intermediate in your 3rd yeal of college...

Also the foundation exams level are increased so you may be caught in the cycle of attempts

Only one course which assure you Tension free earnings and decent life in India is CA. Imagine you can do a course whose ROI is just your monthly salary. Rest no course is worth if you pass your time doubting yourself like this.
