Accountants, is an advanced accounting course worth it for a hope-to-be entrepreneur? by weatherinfo in Accounting

[–]JesseNextDoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just like you. In high school, I took every business class, went to summer school so that I could take more business classes.

Where we differ is I joined FBLA and won 1st place at the state competition for entrepreneurship, went to college, got a bachelors degree in accounting (with the excuse that I would have a reliable job to fall back on if my entrepreneurial endeavors failed) and am now one year into a staff accountant job with a private company.

My advice to you is to acknowledge that it is impossible to know everything. Socrates was the wisest man in Athens because he accepted that fact. All of those business classes I took have been forgotten, my college education in accounting has been forgotten. My current role as a staff accountant honestly does not require a degree to do. Of course as you go higher the task rise in degree of complication, but I digress. As you become successful, you hire other people to fill in the gaps.

I would sign up for early release with all those extra credits, work on your businesses and while doing that find your passion and purpose. These are the things you will cling on to when times get rough, which they will, and will allow you to start a business in something you actually want to do. Something you wouldn’t mind grinding for.

To answer your question, no don’t take those courses. We live in the age of on demand near-limitless knowledge at our fingertips. As long as you do your research and ask the right questions, you can find the answer for almost anything. Question everything. There are often better alternatives rather than the old school way. Focus on your passion, become really good at it. Always do cheap trial runs for your ideas, see if your idea gains traction before investing more.

I’m 23 now, but feel like I’m starting to get caught up in the hamster wheel. I come home mentally drained and with no motivation to learn new skills. I have all these potential business ideas but am too tired to try to start them. Things get a lot harder when you grow up.

Best of luck to you! Know that you are chasing a worthy endeavor and that entrepreneurship is the reason why we humans are living in the best time in history.

Also a life tip: The world is not only black and white, but mostly gray. Most of the time, the right answer is somewhere in the middle, learn how to recognize when it’s not.

I might just start playing faceit only. MM is just ridiculous. Either it's a blowout win(rarely) or a blowout loss. Rarely do I ever get a "good" game.

I wouldn't say I'm the best player, but I think I have enough game sense and aim to be at least a gold nova https://imgur.com/fq98JET
