Thanks for this show. It was very informative and put my mind at ease about the many things that I was worried about in regards to the future of accounting. Could you do a show on preparing for the CPA exam and what resources (other than CPA exam prep courses) there are for those of us who will be taking the CPA exam in the next couple of years? Are there organization out there that can help speed-up the prep work and get a passing score? Are there tutoring or mentoring organization that can help CPA candidates do well on the exam? It just feels like a very lonely road preparing for the CPA exam...so, it would be great to get some guidance from experts in the field. Thanks again for this show.
10:00 I've heard lots of accounts say they need to tell a better story. But Honestly if they just bumped the starting pay by 10k it would fix the story to you'll work hard and you'll be paid well. Currently the story is you be paid okay and you'll work really hard.
Parents who say that they would not support their child going into a 4-year college are most likely those who have been or know people who have been disillusioned by the promise of high pay after graduation and then the reality of paying back student loan debt. It would be wiser for parents to find opportunities for work experience or apprenticeship in a career field before committing to supporting a child attending college and who then changes their major several times or worse does not even graduate. Furthermore, information technology degrees pay $10,000 - $20,000 more on average after graduation compared to accounting majors. A CPA license can increase pay by $10,000-15,000 but so can the plethora of certifications in IT. Are there opportunities for high school students to shadow CPAs? On another note, personal stories from a forensic accountant would be interesting. Would you please consider having someone who works for the FBI on your channel?
I am studying accounting and doing very well. But I also have to work full time. So no internship or networking. So I am interested but cant do this because it is all contacts. So one suggestion would be make how good and smart you are at accounting be at least a little bit relevant to whether you become an accountant.
I am a Finance major with nearly 4 yrs of accounting experience, how can I find a remote job in accounting? Please note I am a mom so my UA-cam page isn’t my professional page.
