Unfortunately, most people don’t even know what all the options are.

I’m a CPA and absolutely love it. I left public accounting and work in private. Make 180k a year, work remotely as a Controller doing 40-45 hours per week. I’ve never been unemployed. I have other side gigs that explore my creative side but will always be thankful for the security my CPA licensing provides.
@eddiemalvin
Take the best offer but never stop looking for better opportunities...
@Weightingtablesafter
Absolutely take the first offer you can get. You can explore options while getting paid. Getting a job is hard.
@yin4296
Reminder to go to a college that actually offers the degree you want💀
@sweetstorm7652
I do extremely well as an accountant, it’s a nice stable in demand job, nothing to laugh about
@reason4fairness
Grab every opportunity you can get especially for job security. Not everyone will have the privelege to explore.
@alextremodelnorte1905
She got a job exactly for what she studied as soon as she graduated and somehow has an issue with that?
@CC-mt7el
You can switch from CPA to Marketing relatively easy but not the other way around.
@Mountain_Made
You chose correctly with accounting. Job security moving into a recession will be the most important factor to someone’s success. Marketing departments have the highest turnover and usually are cut first above others when needed. Bottom line, I’d never take advise from someone in marketing, Accountants on the other hand, it’s literally our profession to give advise.
@ZEPYL
Don’t Listen to people online! Seriously ! I did explore as a Multimedia Designer diploma to a Graphic Designer Bachelors. Hated my job, people I work with, got burned out so quickly, too much competition as a designer and marketing job. Got FIRED! Now I am in huge tuition debt I owe to loans. I decided to pursue an accounting degree because it was something I like to begin with. Do not explore and be in debt. PLEASE DONT LISTEN TO PEOPLE ONLINE IF YOU DONT HAVE THE MONEY!
@bruschettimaretti
Please ignore this dogshit advice. Take the first job offer and keep applying for new jobs. A recruiter is much more likely to consider an applicant who already has a job, as it shows that the applicant is interested in the field and not just desperate for a paycheck.
@Zocress
Btw kids, it is cool to secure something so early on. If it is what you want. But don't take something you don't want, because you're feeling pressured. Also, you can always switch after you take it. Apply to something else while you have a job, it's less pressure.
@WithLovefromNana
Im someone who didn’t complete community college and has stumbled into bookkeeping, it’s not something I ever envisioned myself doing let alone enjoying. Exploration and trying different things in your career is a totally rewarding experience and it’s cool that Zoe talks about it but also was able to change up her career and move in a different direction than just the category defined in her degree.
@sweetesthoneybee
You got lucky your school didn’t have marketing. I got a marketing degree. I hate it. Marketing spends money to make more sales thereby more money. But it’s a money spender first. In times of need, marketing is first to go. It’s a crap degree. I wished I focused on accounting.
@number7417
As an accounting student, its really hard to understand the complexities of all the subjects, we had to learn; from auditing, taxation, law, accounting, information system, investments, management services and others. Concepts over concepts, all about money we had to learn them in order to compute the amount for every person to every businesses. So if you too plans to be a CPA, let's work our brains off! Anyways, I quite did a rant lol, peace
@caramelatte5477
I graduated a year ago already and I'm still looking for just basic RETAIL JOBS and I cant find one. If I was presented with an opportunity to work in what I studied, I would take it. Money is needed to live.
@godismygeneral
Do what I did take the first offer. Keep exploring and then take the better offer
@user-dt4cl6yp3i
The first job I got out of college I absolutely hated. But, thanks to what I learned from that job I was able to get my current job that I absolutely love!! Sometimes it takes being in an uncomfortable or stressful situation to push you to where you need to go next(: though at the time all I wanted was to work somewhere else, I am so glad to have had the experience. Plus it helped me pay my bills!
