    For new Accountants, or anyone having an interest in accounting. you can now sit for the CPA exam, while having only 120 credits as of 2024. By the time you get 150 credits, you can get your licenses. meaning If I have 120, I can start taking some of the sections of the CPA, while obtaining my last 30 credits for my CPA requirement. Hope this helps!
  • I am a accounting major. I feel like I am so behind & lost 😭 This video educated me a lot!

    Having being a CPA for many years and worked in tax consulting services at a big4 accounting firm, I can say it's not the easiest job in the world, long hours, demanding clients, lots of traveling involved. The pay according to your position can be very lucrative as in my case. But be aware, you have to keep up with the changes in laws, markets and events that affect the business world , not the easiest job admittedly, but can be very rewarding
  • I am an accounting major, and I feel stupid. Like I feel down most nights about it. Don't do full time school and full time work. I'm regretting my life decisions right now.
  • Thank God we have someone who's upfront about how hard accounting is Every now and then I get imposter syndrome because in my lecture classes, when my lecturer would ask us how everyone's finding accounting so far, people would just say it's easy, it's chilled, it's not that bad... and no one ever seems to be confused about anything Thank you for keeping it real because now I don't feel like I'm dumb or something

    Thanks a lot for the vid I’m going to my last year of high school and an accounting major is something I’ve thought about but not known much about and this helped a ton.
  • @antoinettejones
    I’m an artist and an accounting major so I definitely felt when you said we need to break that stereotype!!

    I'm currently getting my second bachelor's in accounting. I'm nearing the end of my second summer class and I feel so mentally exhausted, dumb, like I retained nothing. This video reminded me that I am not alone. Thank you for your input.

    Considering changing my major to accounting. I am pretty good with computers and I know a little bit about R studio. I also like to analyze problems and questions why things are where they are. Trying to still figure it out. Thank you for sharing your experience.
  • I’ve recently dropped out of my bachelor of science program in mathematics and planning to transfer to a business degree. And Accounting is what I’m looking at because it deals with numbers a lot. But it did made me feel better when you said I don’t have to be a Wizard. Math Major begs you to be a math wizard when it comes to theory proving. I was getting sick of it. Thanks for this video
