Honest question, why is accounting such a soulless job? I mean how can it be that much worse than other jobs that relate to finance.

>>20130197
lol good luck chainlink is going to eat your job away

>>20130197
Lol I'm doing a accounting cert so I can go to uni since I dropped out of hs. Fuck it's the most boring subject I've ever studied.

Take your meds

You're going to get a book keeping job and you won't get CPA without a bachelors

>t. brainlet

>>20130384
You've obviously never done any sort of book keeping in your life.

An accountant is a human calculator.

if you follow the GAAP, you will be a mindless zombie. the soul comes from fudging the numbers and embezzlement.

>>20131238
Lol, clearly you are not an accountant.
We don't even calculate shit. It's all excel or accounting programs.

>>20131260
This, kind of. Nothing illegal of course. That would be bad.

Also, don't fall for the big 4 meme if you don't want to get burn out or hate your career.

Pick a industry/area you like and go private.

Aw man 6 figs in mid twenties... ya f accounting

>>20131377
Yeah I'm going into accounting as well. How come everyone is dumping on it? Yeah it seems pretty monotonous by dealing with mostly the same couple scenarios. However, most jobs are like that. Especially most high paying jobs so whats the big deal?

And if you really hate accounting just stick it for a few years collecting monies and become a real estate investor.

Nobody here has exp in accounting or fp&a, especially w/ fortune companies. The “accountants” they’re talking about are local business book keepers.. different ballgame when you actually have a career

>>20130197
Accounting is an honest job.

I'm an accountant that barely does any actual accounting. They have me doing data entry for production lines.

Ya’ll make me feel good about myself

Thanks yeah thats probably what it is. I doubt any of them are even gonna go for their bachelors in accounting let alone their CPA.

Once you get that CPA, you'll be set for life as long as you're not retarded with money management. Just spend your early twenties saving up and buying properties.

>>20131669
Not an accountant. This is why this meme conversation is ever even a thing

>>20131696
Whatever you do get both fp&a and actual accounting experience. Hard to find people who actually understand micro and macro
