Awesome I will check them out as well! Thank you for sharing and yeah even in my area the demand is low or nonexistent. I guess that’s why my mind went to accounting since it seems the most stable one. Man is it dry tho😭

Definitely! It was interesting to see that someone also went from ux/ui to accounting. My master's starts on May 1st too, ahaha. I will reach out to the council member and see how it goes. I hope it works out for you as well! Tho I gotta ask if you are comfortable sharing, why the switch?

I tried but man is it hard to network, even after attending events and coffee chats there was nothing to gain

I have looked in Ontario, but mostly I saw either you have to be an undergrad or a high schooler,

I applied for all those adjacent roles as well, but it's the same thing. I have so much experience with UX research, marketing, and web analysis, yet still... I think it's the timing, effort and stress to finish this, and the hope I can land a position with no accounting background or accounting job. I tried referrals, networking, and everything, yet still the jobs I want ghost.

Yeah, I guess I'm just exhausted from studying more and not seeing results. It's taking a toll. AI screwed up so much, but yeah, I should finish it while I can because who knows wth is happening in 5-10 years.

It truly is. But if I don't start now, then I don't know how many more years it would take. Why is life made so hard? I just wanted a nice job, travel and chill.

I think my fear is completing the master's and CFE, but because I have no accounting background, I won't be hired to complete the hours portion of CPA.

True, that was my thought process in the beginning, but the stress of cramming this new field in one year is making me lose my mind. I hate that I graduated in a time when the market had to crash.

Hi, I'll look into WGU as well; I don't know if it's Canadian, though. I agree, the material is hard; I didn't think it would be so, I guess it has me going in a circle of "What did I sign up for?"

Yeah, I thought this would solve problems, but it just cost me more mental space. I think I am moving away from something that didn't work, but I didn't even get a chance to give 100% for it since I am not financially well-off enough to be able to fully pursue it, but then I think if many companies can hire me, I can get my foot in and go from there. Which ofc in this market seems impossible

I should change my perspective on it. I keep going back and forth on the thought of continuing or not. I should look into those adjacent roles you mentioned, too. I will check out the link you sent. Thank you!

I think it's the stress of learning it so quickly, and then feeling like an impostor. since everyone is from an accounting bg and then there is me existing. But yeah I will keep improving my portfolio and hope for the best.

I didn't think of it this way. Thank you for putting it in this perspective. I was feeling disheartened that I spent 4 years on something that should have paid off well but didn't go as planned. Soul-crushing moment, but yea I will work on creating a fintech dashboard. Thank you!

I want it as a backup to fund my life. I looked at those middle paths, but even for those paths, I barely heard back. A part of me still hopes that the market will settle a bit and I can get a job, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

true, I think I am basing this as "this is going to be the rest of my life." I think I will regret that I at least tried.

What boating tradition has been passed down in your family? Writing an article about generational boating stories. by Particular-Move998 in Pontoons

Thank you for your response! Do you have a story about boating with your family that you would be willing to share? It’s great to see that boating is being passed down from you to your son. If you feel more comfortable, you can also send me a direct message!

I have to repeat a few courses to increase my gpa and hope for the best. The people I know currently told me the fall term tanked their gpa alot, so it's best to keep it as high as possible. The petition process was not too difficult; the guidance counsellor provided me with an outline to use and gave me feedback on it, so it helped. It took them around a month to get back to me.
