Career questions tagged accounting
I am a second grade medical school. I got high marks at the first grade. When the 2nd year started i just felt i am not in this field. But I am good at math, analyzing, numbers, some kind of business analysis. So I’m thinking about applying for the business administration school instead of the medical field. I am just very confused about the business field because some people say it has no future, so what you advise me ?
Thanks for your help !

What entry level roles should I look for with an associates in business?
Hello everyone!! I am currently a junior majoring in Business admin with a Concentration in HR. I am supposed to graduate next year, but I am severely burnt out and my mental health is declining. I also had other factors in my life happen recently which made things worse. I am receiving therapy and getting help right now. My plan is to find full time employment, take a semester or two off of school and then resume part time college while working full time. That being said, I have an associates in business with a very strong customer service background. What type of entry level roles should I target with that degree? I am also interested in healthcare/social work and other areas of business as well. I would love to gain experience before I go back to school. Let me know any good ideas!! Thank you!

Should I cancel my SAT Score ?
I think I got a 700-750 on English but for my I think for math I got a 520-540 because my math 1 section was medium hard and then 2nd module I got the easiest algebra questions that make me think I got a 21/22 on the second module. Considering I am applying to places such as Stanford, duke, Colombia is it worth cancelling or keeping.

What are the pros and cons of industry accounting professionals and public accounting?
I’m currently studying accounting, and many of my peers including me are planning to pursue the public accounting route and study for the CPA. However, I’m also interested in working directly for a corporation or bank, focusing on roles like financial analysis. I’m unsure whether I should follow the traditional public accounting path or pursue a career in corporate finance or banking. Can you help me understand the pros and cons of each path, and how I can make the right choice based on my interests and long-term career goals?

TokyoFeeling lost and stuck. How do you decide what career path to take when you have no experience?
Hello, I’m 23 years old. I am about to graduate next year with Bachelor’s in Business Admin with an HR concentration. I am a fully remote student and feel this has hindered me in a lot of ways such as networking etc. I picked my major mostly because I wanted to help others and I had aspirations of being a social worker or counselor but they require a masters/license. Being that I was pushed back from graduating 2 years due to surgery and other things, I felt pressured to just pick something and graduate. I am doubting my major. It’s not that I don’t have interest in HR but feel completely disconnected due to lack of experience. I also am more introverted/shy and the thought of new hire orientation/recruiting sounds dreadful to me. Everything just feels off to me. The only other things I can switch my major to would be accounting or marketing and not push me back further. I’ve learned you can get into HR without a major and most people just sort of land into HR. Which I didn’t know prior to picking my major. As well as that, there are absolutely no entry level jobs for HR. It’s super upsetting. I have been attempting to get an Internship with no such luck. They are few and far in between. I’ve made it to final rounds but have been rejected. What I really want to do is be a counselor, social worker or nurse/mri tech etc. I would love to work in something medical/helping others. Nursing would set me back 3 years since it’s a totally different path. Rad tech etc are two year programs with pre reqs. I just don’t want to waste my college credits and hard work but I feel very confused at this point. For instance I have about 116 credits, as I changed my major once before and took courses I didn’t need. I will graduate with 146 credit hours. I will graduate at 24, before I turn 25 and I feel old and have absolutely no experience besides retail/fast food jobs. I was supposed to graduate in 2024, so it is upsetting seeing peers graduate. I want to graduate and gain experience and maybe potentially go back to school one day once I actually experience the world. I need a break from school and can’t imagine pushing myself back or enrolling in another program once I graduate. I’m just scared and unsure of my future. I don’t know how to stand out or what my next move should be. I don’t know if I should continue with this Business Admin degree with a concentration in HR, but I fear it is what I mostly align with other than Nursing and such. I don’t even feel confident in saying this is my major because I lost all passion/motivation due to rejects of internships. Being an online student, I also know no one else who went to college. All of my friends are mostly in trades. Do you have advice? I’m feeling lost and struggling a lot.

Is it possible to go into the accounting world with just a bachelors in accounting?
I want to continue in accounting but I hear from many that I need a masters to get opportunities. However, it's really expensive for me to do. Is it still possible to get into big corporates and governmental accounting with just a bachelors?

Is a Mathematics degree enough for entry level positions in Finance?
I am currently obtaining my associate's degree and have decided that mathematics is the best option because of it's versatility. My goal is to work in investment banking, so I know I will need a bachelor's degree. I have no desire to get a Master's degree. Will that effect my chances? What would give me an "edge" up on the competition?
ChicagoMore "social" accounting careers?
I worked as a cashier in a busy grocery store throughout high school and college. It was a good job, although there were days when I was overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle and interacting with so many people. When I had bad days, I dreamed of the day when I was an accountant and wouldn't have to interact with customers at all. Currently, I work in the tax department of a medium-sized corporation. Surprisingly, I really miss interacting with customers and meeting new people. Some days, it feels like I just stare at my computer and enter data. So, on top of feeling lonely, my career feels very meaningless. I've considered going back to school and earning my bachelor's in HR, but I was wondering if there were accounting careers where I could meet more people, or feel that my job had a positive impact.

How can I be successful with my Business Administration Degree?
Hello, I am a first-semester freshman and due to my negligence I received a C in one of my classes. I have an average GPA now (around 3.5 if I do well in all my other classes), but I want to succeed with the Business Admin. Degree. I know I want to work in marketing, social media marketing, and I am exploring Accounting with my first Accounting class next semester. I have an internship lined up for next semester as well for marketing and event planning, and I am going to be doing an interview next week for another internship. I currently hold a co-social media manager position for a Dance team at my University, and I hope to get the graphic design position I was working towards within my next semester. Because I did not prioritize one of my classes and the subsequent classes this semester I ended with a C and the rest of my grades as high B's. I plan on working harder next semester so I can get better grades, but I am worried like this semester I will fall behind (I also had an on-campus job this semester and was taking interviews and applying to other jobs as well). I want to graduate early, and attend an MBA school so I have created a plan as to how I will graduate early with my classes, and started looking at what I should achieve to be accepted in the Deferred Admissions process for an MBA school. My University is small and not known for their business program, and in regards to the jobs I've been applying to I have focused on part-time internships: - social media - advertising - accounting I also applied to various on-campus jobs. In my free time I have worked to gain more knowledge about marketing and other jobs in business along with the skills required for them. This is why I landed on Marketing because of my creativity and artistic abilities, and how it can prove to be useful.
