Is it worth to pursue CMA after completing B.Com? Is it a good choice to pursue CMA instead of a degree course?

CMAs- Get Paid More: Lets face it, we want to learn, but ultimately we need the certification to get better-paid jobs. According to a comprehensive study by IMA, CMA certification holders earn 1/3 more than their non-certified counterparts. For Many, CMA Skills are More Practical Various industry journals have indicated that 80% of accountants end up in non-public accounting. The management accounting knowledge and skill is in fact more useful for these professionals. In fact, many dual CPA and CMA holders find the materials covered in CMA more interesting and practical in their daily work.IMA Makes it Easy for Us Unlike the CPA exam in which getting qualified is sometimes harder than passing the exam itself, IMA (the CMA exam administrator) make things clear, simple and organized for applicants. IMA openly welcomes international candidates with the exam offered in hundreds of locations worldwide. Dont get me wrong it is easier not because of a low barrier of entry, because candidates are still required to have a Bachelor degree, a rigorous exam and 2 continuous years of management accounting experience to get certified. But IMA makes the process of becoming a CMA as smooth as possible. Candidates can focus on passing the exam and fulfilling the experience, instead of getting stuck with the bureaucracy and conflicting rules from different State Boards.
