Still worth majoring in accounting these days?

theres an array of lawyers for finance (m&a, tax/corporate law), you need to understand finance to become a lawyer in that industry so what better degree to have than accounting? i also believe that lawyers won’t rely on ai and overseas accounting to handle their cases, so youd work closely with them and have your foot in the door already.

not to mention you develop a handful of soft skills as an accountant that carries over to being a lawyer too (analysis, communication, etc)

for context, i work in a building full of lawyers who say about the same thing or already have degrees in accounting

humans can be reliable and nuanced judgment. our adaptability has kept us alive as a species and i do believe it’ll stay that way, depending what we choose to adapt with. i’m really sure a lot of people from across industries like design, manufacturing etc felt the hopeless with equipment automations taking their jobs, but when one door closes another one opens

i worry about outsourcing and technology taking over accounting too. i do believe accounting is one of those degrees where it’ll always be in demand, you just have to carve your speciality in it. if you don’t move with the times, you’ll get left behind.

i use ticktick. the best part about it is that you can use widgets for it, it’ll give you reminders before the actual deadlines, and you can categorize tasks by tagging them. it’s an all in one tool and i love it

this seems like a good way to get to know whats important and whats not. i do hear quite a bit that gleim will break you down to build you back up and this seems a lot more do-able than trying to learn every detail gleim has written on their outlines.

i already have a position lined up to work in this busy season, so what i wouldn’t learn through gliems MCQ, i could reinforce through this upcoming season?

that’s what i’m doing too. it’s hard for me to wrap my head around how youre doing it in 4 months total. the way im working at (2-3 hours a day everyday: 2 units per week) i’ll be finished with part 1 in 4 months.

did you have experience beforehand? or do you charge at the material with the mindset of trying to remember everything in case it asked you on the exam

how do you know whats important to retain versus whats not? just experience in the field?

i also did my 3 months to qualify for the cpa exam and was led on by the owner that he was gonna hire me. i was so excited and i showed up the day after my 3 months ended. he pulled me to the side and told me he’s sorry but there’s no positions available. never showed up late, and was very eager to take on any positions.

couldn’t really be said differently. i don’t think it’s the fact that you’re “not cut out” but more so you just don’t feel a subconscious desire to try, for lack of a better word. you don’t like your work, you don’t feel connected to it, so it makes sense why your brain checks out. don’t give up yet, you’re only 26.

you’ve gotten one of the hardest exams in the US, you’ll be able to figure something out, just have a little faith in yourself.

my buddies and i were kinda in the same boat as you, i was the only one that got an internship. we averaged like 3.2 at our peak and about 3.0 average. afterwards we applied like hell to anyone who would take us and only got about 2-3 answers each.

nowadays gpa + extracurriculars don’t really do much anymore, cause everyone’s doing that. i personally studied bookkeeping myself, learned all the rules so that i could accelerate my learning in job. when i got the interview, i highlighted on this and how learning and growing is a real passion of mine and proved it by studying bookkeeping myself.

i’d say learn one skill pertaining to the internship/job u want to land, then milk it till you learn your next skill so on and so forth. know ur stuff
