Just wanted you know 4 years later and your videos are still helping shape the lives of others! :)

[@Onepieceownz]

I'm thinking of going to study for the first time at 34 years old for accounting and possibly an mba. Your videos help me so much, thank you 😊. Greetings from Canada.

[@Lovemonniibee]

Interesting video! A few years ago, I thought about going back to school for business courses once I realized that I was going to be working for myself for a while. But PPA offers business courses tailored specifically for photographers. But it's always interesting to learn about other fields of specialization!

[@SaraMarie]

That's so cool! I have no idea what I would do besides accounting :/

[@jmaloney59]

Love this video! Stumbled upon your channel somehow and I’m so glad! I am also an accountant at a private company and I’m so thankful to see videos and information about this side of the accounting world ☺️ Most of the time you see things about public accounting and that is totally not my thing!! I’m with you on the $10 off balance example, gotta find it and won’t leave it alone until I do or until someone talks me off the ledge, haha!!

[@SaraMarie]

That’s awesome! So glad you found me 😊 Yes, lots about public accounting!

[@mrsagneska]

Thank you so much for this video. I just started an accounting degree via distance learning and you motivate me to keep studying. My questions for part 2 are : 1.How competitive is the accounting field for somebody that wants to get in straight out of college? 2. Is it possible for an online student to get into public accounting? ( so far I heard they recruit on campus only ) 3. What is your opinion on accounting jobs in the government and any tips for landing one? 4. What do you think of CMA license? 5. Do you think it is hard to work under US GAAP if you come from college where all you learn is IFRS? ( My uni is in the UK). And do accountants need to know how to work with both? I would be so grateful if you answered any of these. Distance learning feels lonely at times as you don't have classmates to motivate you with your course

Hello, my name is Rickey. I have just watched your video. I would like to say, I majored in Mathematics before I majored in Accounting, and I like doing Bookkeeping and Accounting work. Do you enjoy doing the same sort of work as I do? I hope you are doing well with it. If so, I hope you will keep up the good work. That is all for now. Thank you for sharing this video. Take care.

[@LivingLifeQuinn]

I graduated with a A.S in Computer Information Systems and I graduate Dec 2020 with my B.B.A in Accounting, I’m looking to make a career move. I am doing Operations Specialist where I most do Titles for vehicles and Billing. Do you think I can use that experience to switch careers? I’m having a hard time finding somebody to give me that chance.

[@iamtasha2]

Great video! Can you give some advice for someone making a career change to accounting? I’m currently getting my MBA w/concentration in Finance but would like a career more geared toward accounting versus finance. Any advice would be appreciated.

let me ask you this. If you own a store (or, carpentry or lawn service or landscaping) and purchase goods(materials, & supplies) in the same state for resale(or consumption of the materials to fulfill your services), and the purchase price "already included" the sales tax, would you need to collect sales tax from your customer? thank you

Do you do calculus work while learning accounting in university or is it just basic dividing multiplying adding math

[@SaraMarie]

[@rickswineberg]

business calculus

[@Pinksparklees]

you only have to do one calculus class so its mostly basic math

[@humbertoheredia6734]

Marisol Garcia it’s mostly business not a lot of high ranking math classes

[@dac1967]

Hmm. I am on the fence about what masters program I'd like to enter into. Will getting an MSA (Master's of Science in Acc.) hinder me from becoming a manager in the future, as opposed to getting an MBA? Also, do you feel like the MBA program preps you sufficiently for taking the CPA exam?

[@SaraMarie]

Great question! Everyone that I spoke to said to get an MBA over a masters in accounting. Mostly because of the increased experience with managing. I don't think my MBA prepared me for the CPA at all. But I do plan to do a CPA review course that I hope will refresh my accounting knowledge and prepare me for the CPA. Hopefully that helps!

What’s the difference between bachelor of accounting and bachelor of commerce majoring in accounting? And which one is better?

[@Michelle-by9fp]

Would you recommend accounting as a degree and career for a mom, who wants to work part time while kids are in school? I am leaning towards no according to what my accountant mentor said. I am considering some kind of job in HR, any resources or ideas to consider?

[@rakshyabhattarai8397]

I am currently doing ACCA and my question is how good is it for an accountant to do masters in economics.. as in from job perspective

[@SaraMarie]

I took economics during my bachelors degree and haven't used it since. In my experience economics has little to do with my accounting duties. But again, that's just my experience. It probably depends on the employer as well!

[@Drew_1500]

Is it possible to work at home doing accounting full time?

Absolutely. You could negotiate or discuss with the company during the interview. Especially now after COVID 19, there is a high chance that you would work from home full time doing accounting.
