+Muffin Man That's very true. Different people have different talents and proclivities thus one career may be boring to one person and a huge turn on to another. In that light accounting is boring to those who do not have the love of it.

Sooo true

Me too ✋️✋️

Same

It’s boring

Exactly! I'll be venturing into Accounting soon.

deborah kenny - speaking from professional experience, so very true!! You really should give it a go. Very challenging, rewarding and diverse in terms of type of work in accountancy. Obtain your CPA/MBA combo and you're basically set for life! I'm happily retired now, after more than 34 years in corporate financial management with the Fortune 50's. Best of luck to you regardless.

And smoke cigars 😂

Most accountants do not work in those sort of environments and also do not earn that sort of money. Average qualified is about £40K if you exclude London, 60K with London, but most people in The City tend to be management consultants or similar profession and they skew the average salaries. A good profession but not as lucrative as many seem to think. For those where it is all about the money investment banking is what those chaps need. Your basic bonus will be more than 5 years of my salary.

same lmao

*Cubicle.. if you're lucky.

Hahaha

gabriel haddad. acctg more than the language if business... accounting is a information system all about information from an MBA in Accountancy jb

+Jarryd Doo I know, right?

MovableFreak if you want to be you will be. You got this👌🏻 best of luck

How are your career in accounting? Did you grow in the profession?

haha

Lol ahahh and he seems very nervous

+Naumaan Adamo lol @7:36

No just no

Dank Memester2.0 why no?

No. As an accountant, you will have to work with people closely

Sweetie your looking for my future carrier Actuary its an introvert carrier sort of accounting and computer science related enjoy.

Every work on earth involves people interaction. For some, you interact with partners or suppliers. However, they are just as complicated and problematic or even more compared to customers. Actuary or Tech analyst or whatever still have to talk to clients, managers, and colleagues. No one works alone in the today competitive world. The least communicative jobs are those tradies like brick laying where you just focus on doing a nice job.

Tax accountants don't talk to as many people compared to audit accountants. So you may enjoy that.

You're literally me 😂😂 im also searching for an exact same course like you. I do think accountancy is the closest to it tho

Prodigy Indo ;-

A friend of mine is 50's and studying accountancy and I know a returner from children also just started mid 40's. It really is a career which suits any age range. In fact in industry I would say most accountants tend to be older. All the bright young things start out in practice as I did so do not let age be a barrier.

huge buzz lol

buzzzz

buzz*

Ruben how are you now?

Yes.how are you now?please share.I would like to know.

Yes, share it !!!

Go for it, if you got a degree already then do a part time masters in Accounting and Finance. Their are many routes to get into accounting

Huge buzz. Understandable to mistake that with the Irish accent haha!

stewart113 ohhh haha true.

+Tim NGG that was funny :P

It works perfectly based on the context!

right

Really? Explain please. I'm at a crossroads I'm trying to educate myself between the two. You seem to have experience, I'd value your insight!

true

Best thing to do is to both lol

The best thing to do study both accounting and computer information system

Charles Manson Depending on your job, meaning what type of accountant you are or what tasks you perform daily, some are more interesting than others. It also depends on the industry that you work at. In general, say if you are an accountant at a medium company doing paperworks all day, it is dead boring. Accounting has the highest percentage of graduates who don't work in the field after graduating. Though being an external auditor of the big 4 may be interesting, none fresh graduate would land to that job on the first hand. How many years would it take an accountant to have a job travelling around the world as an auditor? You would quit way earlier before that. I would say unless you are really interested in checking others' maths or sitting at a desk in front of a computer looking at numbers all day, which some people may do, leave the profession for immigrants.

Daniel Huynh Fair enough mate very informative about the highest % of graduates. Thanks for taking the time to help out

+Miri Soji Truly a sad line...

I guess he means Gucci shoes and LV handbags...... That sounds exciting!!

Miri Soji I thought I was the only one that heard that part. It caught my attention like "wth?!" Lol

That line bombed harder than the caves of Afghanistan

i thought it was a joke LOL

vandetta.. i try to answer your question no 1. according to me, of course, it will not replace an accountant, yet they will collaborate. as a modern, accountant need technology to help their job to be easy. but accountant can't replace because the acccountant jobs is not only about to input transactions, but it is more, ex analysis and making the financial statement to be better suitable with standar acccounting. and it is based on whether financial accountant, auditor, tax, or many knowledge that will we get only from accountancy.

Teguh Adinata alright i understand now but having a debate between the two though, will look more further which one i like most.

im interested in those exact two >.< please share your findings if you find an answer to question two :)

I think engineering makes more but to be honest engineering is becoming more of an English degree. You would likely find a job with an accounting degree as compared with an engineering degree. As explained in the video no matter how the economy is the company would always need accountants to tell how their company is running financially. So if you want to play it safe then accounting is your choice, Sauder is pretty good anyway to get you far.

It all depends on how far you go but generally accountants are well paid for their work. I work as a mid level accountant and I currently earn about 54K USD part qualified a year, if I get all my exams my salary could potentially go up to around 80K USA per year with the right job without to much hassle/stress. If I were a financial controller or an FP&A accountant in a large firm your talking at least double that and a financial director will earn around 1m USA + bonuses.

How are you now?are you finished your study or get a work?pls share😊

I was going to ask the same question lol

By God's grace

small town Pennsylvania about one hour drive from a couple major cities. Definitely in the boondocks or anything. I just keep applying and they just keep ignoring me. I use Indeed and often it even tells you that 98 or so other people have already applied to this job. How does anyone get a job with that many applicants?

movie guy99 hows it been since the comment?

@@movieguy992 did u get d job sir?

@@Andrean011710 No I only managed to land a few interviews but no position. One wanted to pay 10 dollars an hour for a job requiring a bachelors degree. I would have taken it out of desperation but didn't get it.

No, you can do a Junior Accountant course. Wow, it only took you eight years to get an answer to this question. 😂

True! But think, you cannot have any sort of business without an accountant because we have to report to the government. Your business cannot be good if you don't have management or marketing skills. But without accounting, it cannot even be existing. You will need an external accounting service soon if you don't know accounting. And what people don't know about accountants is that they know more than how much you think they know. As a matter of fact, they have all the figures of your business, all along the value chain.

Daniel Huynh are you an accountant?

Tesla I'm not. And I didn't like accounting before when I was studying management. But I'm studying real estate now, and I respect accounting. I am still not a fan of accounting though. My mom is an accountant, she is ok with and influenced by accounting. However, I wouldn't say she is crazily in love with it. Evidently speaking, she would not happily go over piles of documents. I don't think anyone would. But some find it okay or very okay. Accountants have a perception that work is not fun, because if it is it is not work. Another one is there is always a conflict of interest between boss and employee. This job is very opposite to marketing. Anw, it is a professional job.

Daniel Huynh That is the downside. I'm sitting on this dilemma whether it's worth to have a nice income, be respect by your clients but go through life unhappy, and in some cases even depressed. I'm really wondering whether i should go for engineering or go for accounting. Could you ask your mom this (or would you think: Would she choose accounting again if she got to make the choice and was young again?

Tesla She would choose it again. She learnt lots of business techniques information from it. Her accounting was very necessary for her and my family. We have 6 properties now. She calculated everything, buying, borrowing, renting, lending others, etc. My father who is a manager just does his job going to work and plans nothing. But if I can choose, I don't like an accountant mom.

Madara Uchiha - oh yes. She looks like a lot of fun. Yummy.

Daahir Mohamed tell me something easy in college/university

not if you want a job

@@nicolasgomez5207 lol so true. Many graduate with finance degree because they think they're going to be the next wolf of wall street only to end up at a job completely unrelated to Finance or worst(no job).

Well don't blame accounting, blame the teacher..

Kyle Williams Yeah, probably. I'm out of the class now.

+Fox McCloud howcome you left ?

abulfazel ahmadi I couldn't take the stress so I dropped the class after one semester. It was supposed to be a two semester class. It was just too hard.

were there weekly assignments and tests you'd have to do ? & how did it affect your social life ?

Why does it matter. It's in Ireland. It's 99% white Irish there

Lol that's what I was thinking!

Why does that bother you so much, how cringe
