@baella i got a midterm I have to do over zoom on the 29th. prof requires us to have video and audio on

im so f***ed. I've just been using chegg for all my homework and quizzes lmao

I had proctored online exams last semester and always failed

definitely going pass/fail this quarter. hoping I can rush by with a c-

Almost at the finish line. And one of my professors can use blackboard to save his life. Old dinosaur ass mofo.

My state is one of the only ones not to implement a pass/fail system for colleges

still can't do any work lmao

I'm not learning s*** but somehow I still managed to pass all tests/exams so far. Every class session is a blur

Semester finally over, what a colossal clusterfuck it was. I feel like I only made it through because I was already studying/learning before classes moved online. Didn't learn s*** after that. I'm basically f***ed if this continues.

Now I look forward to two weeks of absolute nothingness until I have to do it all over again.

Them essays done my boy?

Damn 2 week break ?

Got em both in on time

But now I have finals and s*** for the next 10 days

i have so much f***ing work and i cant focus and my groups aren't doing any work either f*** this

Yep, 2 weeks break then I have 6 courses to take. I'll have fall semester off

Any accounting majors in here? Been looking into it as a career, wanted to hear others experiences wit it

@King_Azei

So I got into 4 uni's and 1 of them was my priority. I already paid my intent to enroll to that one, should I pay for the other ones too? What if something happens and my admission gets denied to my priority college?

I did 4 years as a major, and am finishing up my masters right now in it.

It's a very decent return on investment if you work hard enough during undergrad to recruit at a Big 4 or decent midsized. It's not as difficult as STEM related careers or pays as nicely (at first) but it's decent wage to start. 62-65k starting salary (for auditing jobs) for a high cost of living city is typical in public accounting jobs in Big 4. The promotion structure is straight forward and clear, by senior associate (2 years in) you'd be around 75k-80k. 5 years in you'd be at 100-120k making manager at a large firm. These are salaries for the auditing service line, Big 4 firms are general consulting firms have different services which charge clients more and pay higher salaries as a result.

Most, people leave public accounting/Big 4 prior to this though. The lifestyle of client travel and working 60-80 hours potentially a week Jan - April every year doesn't work for everyone as they hit their late 20s and want to do other things. So the common thing is to leave after 2 years or 5 years, where in F500 companies they love Big 4 alum. You'd end up on a path to cushy 6-figure year controller/senior accounting manager role, working 40 hours a week for good pay.

I'm entering a Big 4 this upcoming fall. I have almost no regrets picking accounting as a major and doing this path. I actually hate accounting but I'm from a poorer background and wanted the best/safest investment for my school debt. A career in public accounting has given me access to middle class light style with very realistic path towards upper middle if I focus on my career. In this economy, I still have my job offer and reassurance I will be working so that's a big deal to me. I know where I would be at 25, 30, 35 if I stay in public accounting. There is value to that.

If you value stability but are still somewhat ambitious, I'd recommend the accounting major/CPA/Public accounting path. This is assuming you go to a university with Big 4 recruiting, if you don't transfer ASAP. If you're mathematically inclined, I'd say go the STEM route in engineering/math/economics especially if you're at a decent ranked school. Finance as well, but investment banking recruiting is much more competitive than accounting firms' (pick this only if you go to a top 50 school honestly). Those other majors will require a lot more work than accounting (not that accounting is easy, you'll need to still study harder than a lot of majors). That higher difficulty though is compensated by 6 figure starting salaries while in accounting mid 60s to low 70s is the best you'll see.

It's not the career choice for the intrinsically motivated (work that matters or w.e) but it's a great path to a comfortable life. If you stay ambitious/good at networking/smart, you could transfer from corporate accounting/finance to other areas of business which are interesting or strategy related.
