How can I get my P60 from a company that has gone into lidquidation?
I was made redundant, no notice given, ask for my P60 so many times, even spoke to the company accountant who is refusing to give me my P60

I think you mean your P45. If the employer refuses to give you the form, report him to HMRC.

Should i change my course from accountancy to wildlife conservation?

Should i change my course from accountancy to wildlife conservation?
I am 21 years old doing my chartered accountancy course in India. I always wanted to be close to animals & work with them. I would like to get into wildlife rehabilitation. It seems to be the purpose of my life. But i am one step away from being a Chartered accountant. I would like to go to the US & study biology & wildlife conservation. What should i do? Is it too late for me to switch courses at this point of time?

Answer 1 :
ditch the accountancy, suggest that is no way to live a life stuck behind a desk, get out there and help all the wildlife you can, they need it more than the world needs another accountant.
Answer 2 :
Chase the dream xx you might regret it if you don't good luck xx
Answer 3 :
It's never too late. If you find something you love doing, you'll never work a day in your life, and if your calling is animals, then go for it. I do have to admit though.. that's a weird combination.. animals and numbers.. Good luck to you!
Answer 4 :
Don't see why not, after all they are both based on numbers.
Answer 5 :
21 is still very young! At least in the US it is-- look at me, I'm 25 and only on my second year of college, majoring in Biology. Prior to deciding on biology I took a varity of classes, I didn't want to make any hasty decisions! This is a major part of life I'm deciding on, afterall.... It sounds like you were pressured to think "realistically" about your career decisions, thus you chose accounting. Bleh! Follow your dreams, be happy with your life! Your happiness will create more happiness in other peoples lives and you will do an unmeasurable amount of good when you are following your true path. Good luck!
Answer 6 :
Do the one step to become an account, then do to wildlife conservation thing. At the end of the day then you can maybe help out on that side of the conservation bit. Also if the conservation thing doesnt work out, at least you'll still have the accountancy to fall back on.
Answer 7 :
Accountancy will pay you, where wildlife conservation may not. I'd get your degree, get a job, and work on your dream in your spare time. Wildlife biologists often have a hard time finding work - there's a lot more of them than there are jobs for them. DK
Answer 8 :
YES I THINK SO BECAUSE THIS FEILD IS THE HOTTEST TOPIC NOW
Answer 9 :
Stay with the accounting as your primary. It is better to have options as the door very seldom opens where U want to go.
Answer 10 :
Friend: I have 3 answers to your question: YES - I welcome you to my career field. There are limited jobs, many of them start off as nonpaid, volunteer positions, but will give you valuable experience that will qualify you for greater responsibilities. If you're doing what you love to do, you'll never have "Just A Job", and each day you go to work will be a reward in itself. NO - If you are that close to finishing, you should stay in a career field where you will easily earn the highest income, then you can dedicate your free time, as many people do, to pursue your more enjoyable interests. This way, you'll reach your highest earning potential while enabling you to accomplish more of your leasure, outdoor pastimes, but you won't starve. SOMEWHAT - We need accountants, lawyers, clerks, cartographers, salesperson...(insert any occupation you can name) because it takes a lot of support to protect and manage animals in their natural environments. You have many outdoor, conservation organizations, both professional and nonprofessional who need members. Good Luck, I know you'll do good where ever you go.
Answer 11 :
If you are in your final year of accounting then I would recommend you finish that then go on to do wildlife conservation. You will at least have something to fall back on and accounting is a useful skill. Even conservation projects run on a budget and donations. I did animal conservation science and loved every minute of it and am now a zookeeper. Most people end up doing something totally different to the subject there actually qualified in. Good luck
Answer 12 :
finish your accountant course and after get the biology & wildlife conservation.
