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

[@FromHeadtoCurve]

Yes 🙌🏾 congratulations Hun! Yes this is a very stable career in my opinion

[@JPW558]

Nicole P Yes. I’m a finance major. I’ve heard a lot of things about finance.

[@corporatelynicole]

Sudan Nutella yes but at my school I took business Calc which was a bit less intense than regular calc. And only took one calc.

[@corporatelynicole]

Sudan Nutella no just business calc

[@jancenj2218]

Did you have to pass the board exam to make that kind of salary?

I love when you said “you can do anything with an accounting degree” it made me feel better just in case I find out I don’t like it

Lol right!!!

[@onemorelivingvids]

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.

[@onemorelivingvids]

Just an alternative if you don’t love accounting

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!

[@FromHeadtoCurve]

Yes! I definitely agree with that! If I was against another liked minded candidate with a CPA, they would pick the other person over me. I’m glad you got yours Hun! There’s nothing like being financially stable 🙌🏾

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.

[@destinyp6687]

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.

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.

What do you mean by good with numbers??

[@ingridpatino9130]

Loved the video! You definitely gave such wise and concise advice. I'm currently getting my masters in accounting after going through a career change from a creative field (I worked in Advertising) and watching this video makes me feel confident that I picked the right path. I, too, selected accounting for the career stability.

[@nadiasafanalubis540]

Ahhh, i will be attending college majoring in accounting next year and this video helps me a lot. I aspire to become an accountant like u! Thank you queen

[@Saritakinz]

This is one of the most helpful videos i've ever watched, i'm in my junior year of college and it's honestly a relief to hear that accounting can transfer into so many different paths. Thanks so much!

[@FromHeadtoCurve]

So glad it was helpful Sara!

[@katgreen2197]

OH MY GOSH! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! I'm studying Accounting right now and so far your video has been SO much more detailed and helpful in understanding the nuance and the world of working as an Accountant than many of the others I've looked at.

[@FromHeadtoCurve]

I’m so glad it helped ☺️💕🤗

[@jameeshaah]

I’m a senior accountant and month-end close can stress me out! I also no have no desire to get my CPA, I felt bad about it at first because everyone was telling me to get it but now I don’t care to lol

[@FromHeadtoCurve]

Girl skrew that CPA 😂😂😂

[@Peoplehatethetruth]

Sameee. Month-end is annnnoying and I agree sus, that CPA is a HELL NO. Especially because in Canada you have to take classes for years before you take the exam (essentially like going back to school for anywhere from 2.5-3 years).

Hi I have been an Accountant for 24 years and you don't need a CPA to earn the big bucks. I dont have a CPA and my BFF does and I make more money in Texas

[@10wn1]

The 60+ hour weeks don’t intrigue me to go for the CPA

[@royharper2003]

@@FromHeadtoCurve what bad advice! In about any industry I've ever heard of, having your CPA will put you at an advantage and get the job and/or get the promotion over non-CPAs as it has me, especially the hire up in an organization you want to be.

[@monickaf5149]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m in HR looking to transition to Accounting. After seeing your video, this confirms that Accounting would be a GREAT move.

I'm an accountant & bookkeeper currently in the ecommerce industry. my work life balance is good and I prefer it over public accounting with lots of deadlines and hours. I actually went back to college a second time to study accounting but ultimately switched to Business/Management. I'm still working in accounting but I am shifting more towards international business and entrepreneurship. I am very glad I have the accounting fundamentals when I start a business because the costs and how you generate a profit are the most important aspects in my opinion of growing a successful business.

Fortunately, just me- single & no kids! I’m not very creative- I was a Admin Specialist for a long time. I worked as one for the finance dept of Mn Dept of Transportation & I fell in love w/ data entering insurance checks & bookkeeping, with some light auditing. I like how accounting is Black & white. I like ur site & ur funny personality ! Look forward to more videos- Karen, from chilly & grey St. Paul,MN
