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

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

Love seeing other brown skin girls in accounting. Until now I’ve always been the only one in my department or even my office. my current company is actually pretty diverse and my manager who is Financial Reporting Manager is a brown skin woman.
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

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!

I'm glad that I came across your video. I am over 30 years old so I just want to tell people to keep going. I first went off to college and majored in the beauty industry becoming a cosmetologist. After a few years running my shop I then went to college to get my AS in Computer Information Systems and now this year I graduate with my BBA in Accounting. Thank you for the motivation.

Your room look like it smells of autumn leaves and pumpkin spice with a drizzle of cinnamon glaze

I'm a nurse here who sucks at numbers...however, I love to see videos about other careers that black and brown girls have. Another great video, thank you for sharing!❤️

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.

So glad I came across your channel. I’m a 19 year old in my 2nd year of college and this video gave me so much assurance. Everyone tells me of how hard Accounting is and I’m finally understanding, but this video helped me realize that it is worth it and I picked a good major.

Just want to say CPA is not JUST a piece of paper. It's a whole lot of hard work! And in Canada it is very necessary to advance to some positions such as controller, finance managers and CFO. 😇

I’m getting so excited reading these comments. I have always been the only black person in any accounting department I have worked. I have an EMBA and my title is Director of Finance for a nonprofit.

Love this video. My family completely tore my accounting dreams to pieces. Said it was a horrible career and I wouldn’t make it through college or graduate. The more I research, the more I love it and know it’s the perfect career for me.

[coffeepandacat]

Thank you for sharing. I can't believe I'm actually here considering accounting. I've been taking classes to go into healthcare but I am at a point where I am looking outside of it. 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.

Passing the CPA exams is when you study hard, if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Dylan

I’ve had this video in my “Watch Later” YouTube folder for about 6-7 months. Truth is, I’m about to graduate with my masters degree in accounting as well as a masters in business administration, and I do not have any accounting work experience. I am confident in my ability to do the work, I’m just not confident in my interviewing skills and I’m just really scared for those next steps in life.
Today, I watched this video and it has given me much clarity in what I’m stepping into after graduation.
Thank you so much. You have a new subbie!

Got my GED in February. Got enrolled at the community college of my town for Accounting. This video is the real deal. I'll go for it Hard. You are pretty girl!

[divinelynaptural]

I just got hired as a Tax Accountant at a big 4 firm. This video was sooo helpful. I'm also older than most that will be starting with me. Thanks for the video!

Just a SAHM looking to revamp my life after my kiddo gets a tad bit older. I’ve told my husband I’m going back to school so here I am!

[ItsShayy]

When you said knowing accounting if I want to build my own business is a good thing . You just answered what I needed to know . I want to have financial freedom and decided to start my own business to work for myself instead of other people and after reading the comments and listening to you .. seem accounting is a good career so im going for it💪🏽

I am in Human Resources and I love hearing about other careers what you do and what a typical day looks like for someone with a different career path.
