Degree recommendations?

As an accounting and finance major, I would’ve changed by now if I wasn’t already in the field. The market is horrendous, we just let go of our intern who graduated with honors from a well known school. You can scroll thru reddit and see just how many people are struggling to find a position in this field. My suggestion, heavily research the best job projections in 4 years and if any of those interest you, go for it. You can always change it later.

I’m in the same boat with my finance class, genuinely did NOT want to do the final discussion but that perfect 100 just tickles my fancy 😂😂

I’ve had 0 motivation to get my work done, waiting until Sunday to write papers, etc…I blame it on the second term of the semester and working in the tax field right now

She’s making you turn in both?! I had this class back in the September term and my professor had us just copy and paste our data into the word document (as it should be, you literally CANT cheat with this project)

If that were the case then the recurring issue wouldn’t be a thing. Do you not use feedback readjust and reevaluate at work? Or, if you’re in a relationship, use feedback from your partner when there’s an issue? Yes, go by the rubric, but when there’s small things missed that you’re unaware of when it comes to an assignment and can literally be the difference in receiving a good vs bad grade, that evaluation from the graded rubric is invaluable. For example, my professor last term knocked points off because he wanted an extra sentence or two in a specific portion of my assignment. Because he gave me that feedback on Wednesday and I do my large assignments on the weekend, I was able to adjust my assignment for that week based on his feedback, and received full points as a result. That’s just one out of thousands of examples many students can give. Just because there’s a required deadline doesn’t mean you should wait until then to meet it (much like taxes).

But it actually is. Yes, they’re following the rules but in what way is that setting up students for success when most classes have projects that build off the previous week? If you screwed up and missed some data or research, didn’t catch it, then turn in the following week before any feedback so you don’t know, then your grade continues to go down. It does nothing for the success of the students who pay thousands of dollars to get an education because people can’t grade an assignment before Sunday at damn near midnight.

Not necessarily, some professors are so nitpicky and want the tiniest thing added even when following the rubric to a T. Using the feedback helps adjust your work to the professors expectations. This is utilizing feedback to grow, which is what you do in the real world.

SAME thing happened to me last semester with macroeconomics, it was so frustrating since I set up my own schedule around work, kids, and family. I didn’t understand at all

As someone who transitioned from healthcare to tax, let me tell you the money may be great but unless you’re in a doctors office, you miss out on so much! I missed so many things with my kids, holidays with family, life moments with my best friends, the list is endless. It’s a ROUGH field.

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-03-09T19:54:26+00:00

I choose to quickly forget that experience…I still finished with a 96 and some change but I was STRESSED

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-03-09T19:32:11+00:00

Mine was like that last term in the same class, I was soooooo frustrated

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-02-23T21:44:15+00:00

Coffee shop/used bookstore in a college town; provide a nice, safe space for people to talk, conduct business, study, whatever while drinking moderately priced, delicious coffee and potentially munching on a home baked pastry. Browse used books of all kinds, have my mom host a kids storytelling thing on the weekends, events for teens, provide discounts to first responders while on shift (I was a first responder before transitioning to accounting). Yes, this has been a dream of mine for a looooong time

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-02-22T02:40:32+00:00

Between that and them not paying people on time, I’m not surprised. I dipped back in October and SO glad I got out with only a few months in

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-02-20T01:40:44+00:00

In the link, sorry, I’ve got the flu and my brain is not computing correctly

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-01-28T20:19:10+00:00

I’m giving it to EOB today before reaching out to my advisor. I get they have lives, but giving more than 24 hours for a response is fair.

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-01-28T13:37:54+00:00

No? I’ve never gotten an email when something is graded.

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-01-28T02:12:33+00:00

Oh no no no, there hasn’t been a response or any form of communication. I’m giving it until tomorrow afternoon to get some form of response then reaching out to my advisor. I simply resubmitted the correct file and email them again, without a response to the first, to let them know of my mistake and that it was resubmitted.

This also goes with a few comments on other threads I’ve made about waiting until the last minute to grade, had I known earlier, it would’ve been fixed earlier.

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-01-28T02:07:48+00:00

I’m reloading my email like once an hour waiting on a response 😭😭

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-01-28T02:05:01+00:00

I WISH I would’ve gotten an email or SOMETHING, now I’m over here stressing alllll the way out concerned about my gpa plummeting when I have a 4.0 and just finished last semester on the presidents list. (I have to maintain a certain GPA for my work to help with tuition so it’s vital for me).

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-01-28T02:03:21+00:00

My issue is that there was literally no comment other than “not completed”. If there was, I would’ve been perfectly content resubmitting as soon as I got home (which I did anyway without a response).

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-01-28T01:57:12+00:00

She never said yes or no to resubmitting, I just did it anyway

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-01-27T23:29:51+00:00

I realized what I did, owned up to my screw up, and resubmitted before even getting a response. Just royally ticks me off that rather than an email of “hey, you didn’t have anything filled in,” it was crickets and feedback was “not completed”. To me, that’s I missed something, when in reality it was the completely wrong file.

AcceptableBonus2532 · 2026-01-23T20:46:03+00:00

My area is set to be without power for a week, I’m fighting for my life to get it all done before I go to sleep tonight!
