Is Accounting the worst college major?

Is it the most miserable job in existence?

Why the fuck would anyone do this?

Every single office job is meaningless.

Whether it's engineering, software engineering, IT, finance, accounting, management, HR, PR, sales, marketing, administrative bullshit, secretarial, CEO, CFO, etc. etc.

it doesn't matter

it's all soul sucking fucking bullshit and i don't understand how anyone goes into it besides naive college kids that think it pays well and is easy

It used to be a well paying, low upkeep job with stable opportunities. Now the middle is hollowing out and there is a lot of grindy, low paying shitwork, and a lot of super specialty high end that requires years of training and experience.

I knew tons of finance majors in college who always bragged about how much money they were supposedly going to make after they graduated. They were all obsessed with the "work hard play hard" lifestyle except the thing was in college it was all play. I only knew one of them that actually got a job at a top investment bank in NYC and he was the only one of anyone that made anywhere near their expectations. On linked in I saw he burned out after 2 years and starting working at no name places all around the country. Most of those retards work at literally-who companies with low level titles, with "fuck my shit up" looking profession profile pics. Reality hits hard.

Who cares? I'm not there to "make a difference" or whatever other buzz words HR wants to hear. I'm there to make money. It's easy and it pays well, I trade my 8 hrs for money then I live my best life every evening and the weekends. I don't give two shits about "loving what I do".

Startup companies are unironically non-corporate until they hit ~100-150 people, and start attracting real deal investors that demand at least some corporacy in order to not be giving money to unorganized retards.

Even then, until they get larger(300+ employees), Sales culture is unironically the wild west, because the only thing that matters at that point is making money, and most sales activity happens outside the office.

Actually compared to officecuck """""work"""""" it is actually much harder to be a hack in trades. If you fuck up everyone can see it, it is physical and in your face. If you do nothing but slack off, it is blatantly obvious you did nothing as there is nothing done in front of you. You don't get fire for poltical correctness or timeliness at trades, but you do get fired for being shit at your job.

Everytime I do work in your office cuckshed workplaces, I take a look around and see this: 1/3 of you are on facebook/social media, 1/3 are slacking off talking to each other, and the last 1/3 are pretending to be working while actually day dreaming about killing themselves.

As someone who has been in the tech industry for 5+ years, there are only three kinds of people "stuck" in menial roles:

>those who literally started at the BOTTOM, with no pedigree(no college or work experience), and haven't earned enough cred to get hired for an engineer role
>those who have the skills, but are too afraid to either demand an engineer role, or too afraid to leave their company and interview elsewhere
>those who actually aren't good enough/smart enough, and belong in customer support

Nobody who is worth anything is actually "stuck", most people just never try to do any better.

Anon I'm sorry you are so emasculated and beaten down by your overlords that you think being minutes or even seconds late to your slave work is laziness. For actual men it matters more on your overall quality and speed of work than formalities.

It is clear as day to anyone you were saying that leaving early or being late is laziness as you gave them separate lines to be distinct. You even went to far as to point out in brackets how you equate them to (lazy).
>I just said the fact that you brag about being able to be late and leave early shows your true character.

Is job hatred a forced meme? It seems like there is a thread like this 24/7, just get a job and shut the fuck up asshole.

Was there some cartoon Zoomers watched that implied you would never need a job or something?

Each of those jobs has an amazing upside if you just fucking look at your interests that could be exciting for you. Engineering is awesome, IT is fun, computers are fun, HR is fun you can basically micromanage a company and you have salary power over everyone and can troll people, marketing is awesome, get to work at a place with creative juices flowing, do some inside sales, maybe create a new logo, CFO is insanely powerful and you have the ability to make or break a company and everyone kisses your ass like your name is LeBron James.
