Two quick questions about accounting, textbook and overseas work related.

<p>I am going to be taking accounting classes this next semester or two in anticipation of entering a masters degree program in accounting and financial analysis. </p>

<p>I am highly interested in working overseas, possibly in southeast Asia/Singapore, and was wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions in anything I should be looking for, as far as course wise, or doing/planning for this.</p>

<p>My other question is: I have an old Intermediate accounting textbook a friend gave me, it is a spiceland 4th edition, that is about 5 years old. Would the information in that book still be relevant? Could I safely study that book in preparation for the class I will take next semester, or should I wait and purchase the book they will use (6th edition) in my upcoming class?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
