    Yes. As an accountant/accounting or finance major you’ll never be without a Job. I advise so many people struggling with majors to go into accounting. I negotiated my salary and make more than what CPA’s make when I worked in industry and now back in public accounting. The options are endless. Great video

But yes accounting provides such a stable income. I actually have a bachelors and I’m closer to $100k than $50k and I’m under 30

    One thing I’m considering is a law degree . You only need a bachelors and a passing grade on LSAT to start. Or you could get a paralegal certificate from a university (usually $1000 to $3000) and work as a paralegal. An accounting degree would be beneficial in either of those positions.

    I would highly recommend for grad school, instead of getting a masters in accounting people should consider an MBA with a concentration in accounting. The masters in accounting is great but if one day you wake up and you hate accounting you’re stuck. Where as if one day you wake up with an MBA and you hate accounting you can easily switch to marketing or any other business field.

    Your #1 Pro was also my number #1. I do have my CPA and now almost 20 years in, I want for NOTHING financially. Could retire early if I wanted to. Literally best decision of my life. Getting my nieces into it too. As a black woman accounting/tax/audit have been great for me. I would say the benefit of the CPA is that if it comes down to you and another candidate without it, I've gotten the job. I also knew I wanted the CPA because they weren't many black women CPAs back in my day. Also I knew I wanted to have my own CPA firm and help others get their license. Great video!

    Sariah Smith I’m not sure where you’re from but one reason why we complain that it’s hard is because if we fail we can’t just get debt forgiveness or live on a social safety net. We go to prison or the streets. I guess since we’re paying 100’s of 1000’s of dollars we’d expect it to be a little more attainable. But then again we’re just “StUpiD AmEriCaNs” which is why we have the best ranked college system in the world.

My first round of college, I went with a bachelor's degree in art. I love art, it is truly my passion, but I realized much too late that I did not want to convert that into a career. Also I wanted something that is stable so I can AFFORD to be an artist, not be a starving one. In other words, learn an in-demand skill that will provide a balanced life. The past three years I have been slowly taking prereqs to go into healthcare. But the further I go a long, the more I see that I don't think it is for me.... I'm in my mid twenties now and I realize I should not limit myself explore different waters.

    I’m glad you made this video. I’m about done with my degree in accounting. I went back having a Bachelors in Psychology and being 28 years old. I was worried that I would HAVE to grind at a big 4 firm and get my CPA in order to be successful. On the contrary, I found I can make good money while building my career and family outside of that environment. Thank you!!!

    Hi! I just got an accounting job fresh out of college (I just turned 20 and got my Bachelors in Economics and Finance) and YES I love love love the financial stability that I’ve already received from this job opportunity. I think it’s important for people to note that just because they don’t like accounting classes doesn’t mean they won’t like accounting. Personally I hated my accounting classes, but I loved the finance related ones. I didn’t know I liked accounting until I got an internship in it, then I fell in love. If you guys are in college, get an internship before you graduate because you may not know what you like/won’t like until you try it. Best to try it out without feeling obligated to stay ❤️
