I have a Marketing degree. It’s not all fun and games. In fact, the cool stuff like making marketing plans or coming up with advertising campaigns, is done by senior level people. So you’ll still be in spreadsheets, just not as complicated as accounting spreadsheets.
Also for some reason nowadays entering level marketing positions are borderline exploitative, they want you to do so much and pay you so little and sometimes the tasks are not even marketing related 💀
Im a CMO. Planning marketing efforts is not as fun as you think. It’s exhausting and you get decision fatigue and anxiety. Have i made the right choices? Not to mention you have to manage people that do stuff like the spreadsheets. Thats another whole exhausting thing cause you do have to micro manage a lot of the time and follow up and make sure goals are met and motivation is kept up. I sometimes wish i was just someone that was told to make a spreadsheet because it is so much less stressful. Burnout is real.
@@mirandagarcia7866boohoo. Thats life. You start low and have to do things outside of your job description. Thats how you get promoted. Thats how you become a CMO. You are not willing to put in extra work and are crying about not having a higher paying position? Listen to yourself.
I’m a CPA and absolutely love it. I left public accounting and work in private. Make 180k a year, work remotely as a Controller doing 40-45 hours per week. I’ve never been unemployed.

@@nycto16 you can work in marketing without a degree if you have experience and a portfolio to show. it also depends on the company and what area of marketing someone is trying to get into. a degree is recommended though. also a cpa is only needed if you’re trying to work in public accounting. its not needed for industry jobs. a cpa is helpful though for a salary increase
I love accounting work! In marketing, many jobs pay straight commission. There are a ton of scam jobs in marketing and the interveiws can be quite convincing. I've tried both and have preferred accounting for the past 5 years. ❤
Don’t Listen to people online! Seriously ! I did explore as a Multimedia Designer diploma to a Graphic Designer Bachelors. Hated my job, people I work with, got burned out so quickly, too much competition as a designer and marketing job. Got FIRED! Now I am in huge tuition debt I owe to loans. I decided to pursue an accounting degree because it was something I like to begin with. Do not explore and be in debt. PLEASE DONT LISTEN TO PEOPLE ONLINE IF YOU DONT HAVE THE MONEY!
@@neo_b I hope you succeed! I’m also trying to leave the field, I feel like the whole finance field is so toxic! All of my friends work in different fields and make way more money than me and work way less hours. The grass is greener on the other side but finance is Sahara dessert and I’m just thirsty for at least some grass lol
Controversial take because I truly believe you gotta do something that doesn’t kill your soul when you are trying to just pay your bills. I think if you commit to a job offer, remain within that job for 1 year and then move on. It demonstrates how you are willing to show up for a long term commitment and persevere through a tough situation. I hope everyone moves on to a better job eventually!
One thing i love about this is that unlike other majors(specifically stem) that require many years etc, becoming an accountant is much faster in comparison. I've even heard that universities aren't necessary and qualifications such as acca can be directly accquired after college.
I graduated accounting as well. It pays well depending on what industry you are in. Stressful and I really really hate it. I'm looking for a career change and I'm 33. So, wish me luck.
@@healingandrestoration2807 I think the work in accounting and finance has the most work in any company. Deadlines are tight due to client and government deadlines. In most companies, you'll have to work extended overtime. Bosses are almost always rude and getting promoted is hard if you are not one of the nerds. In the good side, if you are lucky, you'll be able to land a remote job that pays decently. Small financial services firm offers better work life balance than any other firm that offers Accounting and Audit services.
The first job I got out of college I absolutely hated. But, thanks to what I learned from that job I was able to get my current job that I absolutely love!! Sometimes it takes being in an uncomfortable or stressful situation to push you to where you need to go next(: though at the time all I wanted was to work somewhere else, I am so glad to have had the experience. Plus it helped me pay my bills!
Seize the first opportunity that comes your way. You can continue to explore other options while earning an income. Securing employment can be challenging, so don't hesitate to accept an offer when it presents itself.
Yeah, I was scooped up by public accounting as a sophomore too, couldn't agree more, wish I had explored... They've unlocked a true original form of grooming
Yes I made this same mistake as an accounting major who got stuck in audit as a first job then next got stuck in a comfort zone job due to that trauma. We work so hard for exams but so little to find our options and job search! ❤😢😮
I have a degree in medical field, some license in and courses in aviation, and a couple of degrees in accounting. I find accounting interesting if you look for it. Yes, there are jobs that are boring, but if you look enough and the right company, you will find it challenging and fun.
Accounting minor would help you through a CFP designation- more fulfilling and fun than a cpa and makes more too. You help people and make bank doing it
I know some people who graduated then got a job in an unrelated field. Life is unpredictable. If it were me I'd say take what you can get and switch once you have enough resources.
This speaks to me! I have the same story. I secured a big 4 internship right after my sophomore year and had 2 more summer internships after that which led to a full time job in audit. Back then I didn't know there were other avenues to explore outside audit and tax so I just stuck with core accounting for a while because I thought that having an accounting degree meant you're pretty much stuck with accounting, audit, or tax. not knowing that people can pivot into more interesting jobs in business. I feel like I've pigeonholed myself at times but now working to move into a finance role to get into asset management. Just wish I knew a faster way to get there early on.
I went to college hoping to just graduate at least. And I did. In journalism, cant say this was the most useful degree but it was definitely easier to get a job back then.
Yeahhhh some of us aren’t privileged enough to know about or have access to the options I didn’t even know what a graduate program was until months after I graduated
Idk about that, I explored many options and I’m back at level 1 with life. Went through two careers in my 20s and now… people my age make twice I make while… I felt miserable but with 0 regrets. I have many life stories and happy moments but regardless, I need better circumstances
Taking accounting degree do not mean that u will be only accountant sure kids u explore and see your options but if it did not work it is okay just do not ever stop working and learning. Like if you took accounting you can do different stuff like finance, banking, economics, and so many things within business domains. Example me i took accounting and now i work in banking private equity and i love my Job, i will never change my major ever.
I had a similar experience and started working in the same field as my major while I was a junior in college, because it was the “smart choice”. I quit a few years later after I realized how much it took a toll on me and went on to follow another passion. No regrets, but it’s good to keep your options open and choose something that doesn’t make you unhappy or unhealthy. At the end of the day money isn’t everything and as impressive as it was to have your future locked down during a recession don’t just live for other people. I do recommend having some cushion of financial security before you quit or at least a goal that you can strive for at your job regardless of the field.
I’m thankful for not going to college at such an early age cause I got to explore different industries and now I finally found something I actually don’t mind doing

Hi, I was working in Travel and Hospitality and considering to switch career into accounting and other adjacent industry. I'm new at this and not too familiar with job scene yet. What are accounting jobs people less aware of? Can you share some of your insights on this?
@reisatsuki5891 Any company or individual need some dorm of accountancy. Right now, I am working for Universal dealing with fixed assets where I get to know all upcoming and current projects of the company because we need to account for the assets. I also did credit card and cash reconciliation for the same company where I figure out the errors why our accounts showing a variance which affected by systems. We also catches any fraudulent activities while doing the same job. I did a job of creating a budget sheet for international performers all over the world and at the end of the year we do their tax returns. There are times you get invited to meet them when they are in town or even afar like Vegas. So basically, any recording, analyzing, and creating reports while actually be able to see how those numbers come into play in the company works (not all company does). You just need to find the right job and company to work for. Also, since many are going digital, you might be able to work remotely too.
So, I’ve live in the US for 6-7 years. Started high school as 8 grader. I graduated from it, but my English skill is not that fluent and professional. I took a gap year off and now thinking of going to college. I don’t have any grants, scholarships, and also was not eligible for the FAFSA because I put my parents information. And I already sent it to college. Now I got accepted, enrolled, ready to go next month. But I’m so overwhelmed with everything. I’m worry that I’ll fall behind because of my English. I’m worry I won’t be able to pay for college( my parents won’t help me pay). I will be a full time student and I will have to work a part time job to pay rent. Will I survive. 😢 I chose business, accounting as my major. I don’t even know if I like it or not. And my tuition would roughly be 70k 4 years that not included taxes. Should I go to college or just find a job😭

You dont need a marketing degree to do marketing. Bs subject really. But u do need an accounting degree to do it. Doesnt seem like am issue to me. She can still do what she wants.
I also studied business economics and minored in accounting. I'm graduating next week as cum laude. But I'm not too sure I'm happy. I kinda want to study Accounting, but I'm getting a masters degree after I graduate and then proceed to Law. So idk if I'll get a chance to study accounting.
You can learn marketing on your own. Having an accounting degree opens way more doors in the corporate world. A marketing degree is a waste of money, wanna go work for a marketing firm making 30K a year? Go ahead. If you want to learn marketing, go buy some books and watch all the online videos on how to market products and yourself. The people you interview and you can include yourself are entitled asian kids who’s parents worked hard and pushed you guys to get educated and all you have to say is Oh my life sucks cause I got into investment banking and went to Harvard.

and you are totally wrong about switching into a marketing role with "any" business degree. Marketing requires deep understanding of psychology, research and other advanced marketing courses, you can't work in marketing without a degree in it.
@@nycto16the internship i landed in my first year of college promised me 90k right after i graduate without even a CPA 🤷🏽♂️
@@nycto16 you can work in marketing without a degree if you have experience and a portfolio to show. it also depends on the company and what area of marketing someone is trying to get into. a degree is recommended though. also a cpa is only needed if you’re trying to work in public accounting. its not needed for industry jobs. a cpa is helpful though for a salary increase
@@Gabriel-ut1we most of the times you need CPA specially to go for six figure salary.
Do what I did take the first offer. Keep exploring and then take the better offer
I love accounting work! In marketing, many jobs pay straight commission. There are a ton of scam jobs in marketing and the interveiws can be quite convincing. I've tried both and have preferred accounting for the past 5 years. ❤
Don’t Listen to people online! Seriously ! I did explore as a Multimedia Designer diploma to a Graphic Designer Bachelors. Hated my job, people I work with, got burned out so quickly, too much competition as a designer and marketing job. Got FIRED! Now I am in huge tuition debt I owe to loans.
I decided to pursue an accounting degree because it was something I like to begin with. Do not explore and be in debt.
PLEASE DONT LISTEN TO PEOPLE ONLINE IF YOU DONT HAVE THE MONEY!
This is true at any point in our careers. It’s ok to explore especially if you feel a nudge from within.
So she was handed everything immediately and is complaining about it? Rich kids are something else
Grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side.
bro this is targeted harassment at this point, i majored in accounting and graduate and i absolutely loathe everything about this field
I feel you so much. Even tho I’m not in accounting but ended up in audit I still hate it 😅
@@Angie_suv im currently trying to find a place where i can get an HR diploma/degree, i want to work in HR rather than accounting
@@neo_b I hope you succeed!
I’m also trying to leave the field, I feel like the whole finance field is so toxic! All of my friends work in different fields and make way more money than me and work way less hours. The grass is greener on the other side but finance is Sahara dessert and I’m just thirsty for at least some grass lol
@@Angie_suv thank you! i hope you succeed as well
@@Angie_suvwhat field do your friends work in where they make more money ?
Controversial take because I truly believe you gotta do something that doesn’t kill your soul when you are trying to just pay your bills.
I think if you commit to a job offer, remain within that job for 1 year and then move on. It demonstrates how you are willing to show up for a long term commitment and persevere through a tough situation.
I hope everyone moves on to a better job eventually!
One thing i love about this is that unlike other majors(specifically stem) that require many years etc, becoming an accountant is much faster in comparison. I've even heard that universities aren't necessary and qualifications such as acca can be directly accquired after college.
I graduated accounting as well. It pays well depending on what industry you are in. Stressful and I really really hate it. I'm looking for a career change and I'm 33. So, wish me luck.
What is stressful about the job and what advice would you give to someone who is interested in accounting?
@@healingandrestoration2807 I think the work in accounting and finance has the most work in any company. Deadlines are tight due to client and government deadlines. In most companies, you'll have to work extended overtime. Bosses are almost always rude and getting promoted is hard if you are not one of the nerds. In the good side, if you are lucky, you'll be able to land a remote job that pays decently. Small financial services firm offers better work life balance than any other firm that offers Accounting and Audit services.
I thought accounting was low or no stress?
@@healingandrestoration2807the volume you have to manage in a very tight deadline.
The first job I got out of college I absolutely hated. But, thanks to what I learned from that job I was able to get my current job that I absolutely love!! Sometimes it takes being in an uncomfortable or stressful situation to push you to where you need to go next(: though at the time all I wanted was to work somewhere else, I am so glad to have had the experience. Plus it helped me pay my bills!
What was your first job out of college? How did you get it?
I just graduated with an accounting degree and I’m searching for jobs.
“Which by the way kids you should not listen to her most marketing degrees are worthless” when they fire people they are the 1st ones to go
Accounting is great ❤
Seize the first opportunity that comes your way. You can continue to explore other options while earning an income. Securing employment can be challenging, so don't hesitate to accept an offer when it presents itself.
She should have explored her options with all the schools that do offer marketing.
Yeah, I was scooped up by public accounting as a sophomore too, couldn't agree more, wish I had explored... They've unlocked a true original form of grooming
The exploring part? Mmmm idk doing that sounds really expensive tho. Maybe that's for the more privileged ones😅
Marketing is usually only worthwhile if you have nepotism on your side.
I like the part where u went from broke to 100 million dollars
Why are the people that say shit like this always people that went to top prestigious schools and have marketable degrees
Because these people are full of s**t themselves.
Yes I made this same mistake as an accounting major who got stuck in audit as a first job then next got stuck in a comfort zone job due to that trauma. We work so hard for exams but so little to find our options and job search! ❤😢😮
Shop colleges see what fits you and your academic goals. Don't be afraid to transfer if you need to.
i really wanted to do business data analytics now idk what to do
What they say, do it or dont do it youll regret both.
Yeah Accounting blows, I've been doing it for 4 years, and not once have I said, "boy I'm so glad I majored in this."
Is there any field where someone feel happy? Like what is that job? Everyone say bad about their own
@@sky-xb9js Marketing, Fashion Design, Animation maybe these are the coolest jobs.
at least u make good money n you can transition to many other fields if your a CPA
I have a degree in medical field, some license in and courses in aviation, and a couple of degrees in accounting. I find accounting interesting if you look for it. Yes, there are jobs that are boring, but if you look enough and the right company, you will find it challenging and fun.
im too broke ot explore sigh
Accounting minor would help you through a CFP designation- more fulfilling and fun than a cpa and makes more too. You help people and make bank doing it
I know some people who graduated then got a job in an unrelated field. Life is unpredictable. If it were me I'd say take what you can get and switch once you have enough resources.
This speaks to me! I have the same story. I secured a big 4 internship right after my sophomore year and had 2 more summer internships after that which led to a full time job in audit. Back then I didn't know there were other avenues to explore outside audit and tax so I just stuck with core accounting for a while because I thought that having an accounting degree meant you're pretty much stuck with accounting, audit, or tax. not knowing that people can pivot into more interesting jobs in business. I feel like I've pigeonholed myself at times but now working to move into a finance role to get into asset management. Just wish I knew a faster way to get there early on.
LOL MEEEEE I got a full time offer from a big 4 after my sophomore year. But I tried a different major and now I’m in info systems
How is that? How do you like it?
I went to college hoping to just graduate at least. And I did. In journalism, cant say this was the most useful degree but it was definitely easier to get a job back then.
CPA is much better
the first part of the guy talking sounded like sykkuno but then not in the second part lol
How did you get into UCLA if you didn't think that through?
Don't worry. A degree in marketing is pretty useless for most people.
Marketing people also get fired first.
Yeahhhh some of us aren’t privileged enough to know about or have access to the options
I didn’t even know what a graduate program was until months after I graduated
Zoe is an accountant??!😮 I am about pursue accounting too🥰
She does digital marketing now though
She looks super tired and burned out already
Idk about that, I explored many options and I’m back at level 1 with life. Went through two careers in my 20s and now… people my age make twice I make while… I felt miserable but with 0 regrets. I have many life stories and happy moments but regardless, I need better circumstances
Taking accounting degree do not mean that u will be only accountant sure kids u explore and see your options but if it did not work it is okay just do not ever stop working and learning. Like if you took accounting you can do different stuff like finance, banking, economics, and so many things within business domains. Example me i took accounting and now i work in banking private equity and i love my Job, i will never change my major ever.
I had a similar experience and started working in the same field as my major while I was a junior in college, because it was the “smart choice”. I quit a few years later after I realized how much it took a toll on me and went on to follow another passion. No regrets, but it’s good to keep your options open and choose something that doesn’t make you unhappy or unhealthy. At the end of the day money isn’t everything and as impressive as it was to have your future locked down during a recession don’t just live for other people. I do recommend having some cushion of financial security before you quit or at least a goal that you can strive for at your job regardless of the field.
The barrier of entry for marketing is non-existent meaning the market is extremely saturated, which lowers the wages.
I’m thankful for not going to college at such an early age cause I got to explore different industries and now I finally found something I actually don’t mind doing
I'm curious what is that profession you've found?

Privilege talking. Not everyone can do this. Take an offer and work for a bit. Get the experience and move. Everyone needs accounting
What did you think accounting would be? Of course your going to work with spreadsheet
So refreshing to watch young people make videos about subjects as opposed to body count. 😂
Love this
MINOR not major the title below is misleading
Does this book contains summary of all the books mentioned in it ??
I have a background in aviation, security, petroleum, transportation, retail, and now accounting. The one I actually enjoy more is in accounting. At first I thought it will be boring but if you work for a good company and an interesting job, it will be fun. There are actually more accounting job out there that many never heard of. Most people only know tax, audit, and financial reporting.
Hi, I was working in Travel and Hospitality and considering to switch career into accounting and other adjacent industry. I'm new at this and not too familiar with job scene yet. What are accounting jobs people less aware of? Can you share some of your insights on this?
@reisatsuki5891 Any company or individual need some dorm of accountancy. Right now, I am working for Universal dealing with fixed assets where I get to know all upcoming and current projects of the company because we need to account for the assets. I also did credit card and cash reconciliation for the same company where I figure out the errors why our accounts showing a variance which affected by systems. We also catches any fraudulent activities while doing the same job. I did a job of creating a budget sheet for international performers all over the world and at the end of the year we do their tax returns. There are times you get invited to meet them when they are in town or even afar like Vegas. So basically, any recording, analyzing, and creating reports while actually be able to see how those numbers come into play in the company works (not all company does). You just need to find the right job and company to work for. Also, since many are going digital, you might be able to work remotely too.
So, I’ve live in the US for 6-7 years. Started high school as 8 grader. I graduated from it, but my English skill is not that fluent and professional. I took a gap year off and now thinking of going to college. I don’t have any grants, scholarships, and also was not eligible for the FAFSA because I put my parents information. And I already sent it to college. Now I got accepted, enrolled, ready to go next month. But I’m so overwhelmed with everything. I’m worry that I’ll fall behind because of my English. I’m worry I won’t be able to pay for college( my parents won’t help me pay). I will be a full time student and I will have to work a part time job to pay rent. Will I survive. 😢
I chose business, accounting as my major. I don’t even know if I like it or not. And my tuition would roughly be 70k 4 years that not included taxes.
Should I go to college or just find a job😭
This is excellence at its best. I recently read something similar, and it was absolutely outstanding. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell
why did you add the sad music and the heartbeat
Lol I always wanted to do marketing, my college DOES offer marketing BUT recently they changed the curriculum and new courses are dumb and useless, idk what the heck they have done by removing old and perfect courses. Now I'm thinking to major in finance which i hate :)
Okay, so I'm majoring in marketing! Because they are offering good courses...
Her outfit and hair looks super cute!
I feel like I’m the only person who enjoys looking at spreadsheets and working with excel.
What exactly do you look at with spread sheets lol
I majored in the same thing, Business with a contraction in accounting. all I wanted after college was to find an Accounting career. I got rejection after rejection. I had to settle for A teller job.

recently licensed CPA here. finished paying off my loans 3 years out of school & making 6 figures 5 years out of school at the age of 27.
Accounting was a great career choice for me! extra plus is the respect of all my friends & colleagues. I’m their go to person for any accounting/tax questions. It is flattering the trust they put in your opinion but of course, w/great power comes great responsibility & i take that seriously.
What exactly do you do as a CPA?
Hi!! As a CPA, what career path do you advise for us to take?

Any advice on Human Resource major??
You dont need a marketing degree to do marketing. Bs subject really. But u do need an accounting degree to do it. Doesnt seem like am issue to me. She can still do what she wants.
UCLA prepares you for grad school. The Anderson School of Business Administration is an excellent option.
Basically the same major. I don’t know what do you think you’re gonna get more from a marketing degree..
It’s not the same. Accounting majors take like 1 marketing class.
oh cmon marketing is bs. Accounting is good
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS😂😂
I also studied business economics and minored in accounting. I'm graduating next week as cum laude. But I'm not too sure I'm happy. I kinda want to study Accounting, but I'm getting a masters degree after I graduate and then proceed to Law. So idk if I'll get a chance to study accounting.
Why do you want to study accounting? I heard some people become accountants with Econ degrees
Does she sounds like that coffee shop girl 😅
never seen so many bad or rather impractical takes in one short
Just look at her hair. That will give you an idea how practically she thinks.
Marketing 😂
😩 financial data
She went to college to learn how to sound like a Kardashian and look like Aquafina.
You can learn marketing on your own. Having an accounting degree opens way more doors in the corporate world. A marketing degree is a waste of money, wanna go work for a marketing firm making 30K a year? Go ahead. If you want to learn marketing, go buy some books and watch all the online videos on how to market products and yourself.
The people you interview and you can include yourself are entitled asian kids who’s parents worked hard and pushed you guys to get educated and all you have to say is Oh my life sucks cause I got into investment banking and went to Harvard. I didn’t want this in my life, I wanted to be a content creator on TH-cam. Boohoo.
