Need advice Pakistani ppl🙏

Im 18, living in isb, just got done with igcse math cie, this is the second time im appearing for this particular exam, I had scored horrible in the other 4 subjects, im talking (C,D,E), keeps getting worse and the cherry on top, had failed maths. This year around I had decided to retake just the math exam and then move onto getting a ged diploma(equivalent to intermediate or fsc in Pakistan). As that seemed like a more favouring choice to me at the time, and honestly less time consuming and cost friendly, as compared to giving all 5 exams of igcse and then 6 of As and A2, combined.

I have just decided to pursue Acca after getting the diploma and the equivalency. Im aware that I'll have to start out from foundation, what I need advice is on, whether or not I should go for it, and will it be extremely heavy on my pockets and would I drop out before completing like most of the alumni. As pkr to gbp is horrifying to look at, what would You suggest, either to go for a traditional university route or acca?

My initial goal, and decision for going for acca was based on the fact, that in 2027, due to the changes in paper patterns, it doesn't sound as bad, giving 14 papers, and I want to complete acca in as short of a time span as I possibly could. To be able to get in the job market asap and be able to carry my own baggage, and hopefully help my parents out. I know I sound overly enthusiastic and idealistic but I've got no other choice, I belong to a not so well off family in terms of financial conditions, so I know I got nobody backing me and got no safety net If my fathers got forbid passes away.

Help me out in making a decision for the better💪
