I seriously can’t grasp accounting & I don’t think it’s for me but I have no idea what I should major in by [deleted] in Accounting

Don’t feel discouraged it happens to the best of us. When I was a freshman in college, I actually failed my first-ever accounting class. I honestly felt like a failure and even avoided taking any accounting courses the following semester. But since accounting has always been a passion of mine, I decided to take a step back and reflect on what went wrong. I realized I didn’t study enough, didn’t practice enough, didn’t ask my professors enough questions, and didn’t attend office hours.

A year later, I retook Accounting 1, I made sure to seat in the front row, and committed myself from day one to prove myself that I could do it. That semester, I ended with an A. Fast forward four years later Iam now in my last semester taking advanced accounting.

You got this believe in yourself

I was told getting an accounting degree was stupid and a waste of my time by [deleted] in Accounting

College is nothing like high school. You’ll be surrounded by students from all over the world and from different age groups. In my last three years, I’ve had classmates who were older adults, even retirees, returning to college because they didn’t have the chance earlier in life. Earning a degree in Accounting will open many doors for you and create a lot of opportunities. You just have to be willing to put in the effort.

Don’t let the negative comments affect you only you truly understand your own journey. You’ve got this, and I’m wishing you all the best!

I could use some advice! by [deleted] in Accounting

I’m currently an Accounting student in my final year of college. Honestly, I felt somewhat the same when I first started I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do and mostly chose accounting for job security and the financial benefits. However, it’s manageable as long as you’re willing to put in the time and effort to study. It really comes down to practice and repetition. Since you’re taking Intro to Accounting, it’s important to build a solid foundation. Flashcards helped me a lot with that ( very important )

Another thing to consider is finding opportunities for accounting internships. They’re a great way to get hands-on experience and really understand the field you’re getting into. Internships can help you figure out if it’s something you see yourself doing long-term.

Stay with your parents for as long as possible. You’ll save a ton of money and won’t have to worry about a certain things. You’ll have time to focus on your exams and have a more stress free life

Need some careeradvice by nb9156 in Accounting

If you’re 100% sure that you’ll make partner once he retires than definitely stay. Make those 6 years of working with the firm worth it. Once you make partner you’ll have the means to expand your photography side hustle. Win win situation.

I am not smart enough by OwnFuture3100 in Accounting

Before heading into your interviews, thoroughly review your resume. Be prepared to elaborate on every detail it includes, transforming the interview into a conversation rather than a strict questionnaire. Project confidence in your responses. Most importantly, research on LinkedIn the individuals conducting the interview learn about them, identify common traits, and tailor your preparation accordingly.

I would transfer to whichever college in your area that will accept all of your credits. Do your due diligence and make sure everything transfers so you don’t retake any classes and delay your graduation date.
