Ans: I read your questions thoroughly and my suggestions:
Keeping in view some important factors (which you have mentioned) like, (1) You are good in Maths & Numbers (2) Business Background of Your Family (3) Your Preference for Your Mental & Financial Satisfaction in Your Hometown, I suggest you to go for CA which will help you to be independent and also your family members.
However, please do a thorough RESEARCH about the CA Course such as, Course Curriculum / Subjects, Articleship Requirements, Preparation & Study Strategies, the Minimum of Hours you have to spend every day, the Coaching Centres you should join & other relevant factors that you think you should take into consideration.
I hope the above points are adequate for you to decide.
If you need any other clarifications for you or have questions for anyone, post your questions (in detail) to me and/or follow me here in RediffGURU to know more on ‘Careers / Education / Jobs’.
All The BEST for your Bright Future from RediffGURU.
