This was some great advice. ✌️
As always brother Odizzle. Thank you
Really good advice for helping young people channel their ambitions into a career. Young people need honest mentors who can share possibilities with them. If you can overcome a rough life and get a degree in accounting, the rest is just details. All you need is one foot in the door. One job offer at a decent firm and you're in.
As an accountant for the past 20 plus years, I would recommend it to young people looking for a steady career. It’s not very exciting but it does provide a very good living.
Awesome Jason! Thanks for sharing your story.
Honestly I bullshitted my way through college. I was just a young black kid from the hood focused on the girls but I earned my bachelors in accounting last month and it made me start taking life a lil more seriously.
Now I am starting my journey towards becoming a CPA and I know I’m at a disadvantage. I have no field experience, I don’t look like the typical accountant, and I literally just started taking this shit seriously lol
so I been searching TH-cam to find videos to assist me and you’re the first black youtuber I’ve encountered. Refreshing to see man imma check you out
There are many of us. It's great to hear that you are serious and focusing on yourself. You aren't at a disadvantage at all so don't give yourself any excuses, just grind and the results will come. I hope you enjoy the channel.
Hey loves… a good way to build experienced is to get certified in tax accountant so you can do taxes as a start. Intuit, HR Block and everyone is hiring like crazy right now . That’s an excellent start on a resume
I just finished my first course of accounting. So far so good. Im looking forward being an accountant soon, i find your comment very intriguing. But I'm the same as you @Ray Quan I'm focused on women and money but now in taking my life a bit more serious. Women and money was what i was after. Now it's FREEDOM.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown That's great advice. It's all about the grind. Learn your trade and you'll become the indispensable man.
update? how is everything going now that it’s been some time?
Brother Wade appreciate this vid. Attractive career path flexibility within a field can make all the difference in whether or not that field seems like a good fit for a person or one to avoid - much like how the right tool doing labor work can make a task go from frustrating to something to look forward to. I too noticed how Accountants can advance to Business Manager, Controller or an executive position fairly seamlessly and dare I say swiftly compared to other lines of work in an organization especially since nearly everything that they work with usually somehow relates to the business processes and operations of that company. Helping a business allocate money, make money, save money and grow money is always going to be in demand. Nice overview bro 💪
Smart men notice many of the same patterns. I appreciate the support brother Waymon💪🏾.
Black, currently close to declaring my major in accounting as I’m approaching my jr year. This comment section scares me a bit but I believe it’s obvious that accounting is a great career field. It’s just a matter of whether it is for us black Americans as well ? I find myself questioning whether my race will hinder my opportunities or help them. Also anxious because I can be apart of the group of black accountants and cpas that represent us as a race in the profession and will lead to more black people pursuing fields such as accounting . It goes both ways I guess. But I do know that I enjoy accounting and really just hope it pays off in the end.
Brother Ryan,
Your race will not hinder your opportunities. Please don't prepare that as an excuse. When you get the word no, think of Next Opportunity and not anything to do with your race...everybody gets told no sometimes but you must understand that there will be a yes. Accounting is a wonderful career and we need more of us in those fields to look out for us. Wise choice brother.🙌🏾
Yes it is ❤️
How’d it go?
I am a accounting student and have struggled to find many videos supporting majoring in accounting. In fact when searching reasons to become an accountant several videos saying not to popped up. This video was very informative and positive. The motivation I was looking for.
Accounting brothers stand up !
Accounting sisters stand up !
I am in my junior year and changed my major from finance to accounting because of the versatility that comes with it. Also, my first introduction to accounting was this semester: I took financial accounting -- and though it has been tough (I hear it is one of the toughest accounting classes), I truly have enjoyed the course. That's another reason why I switched majors. My professor says I just have a niche for it. But this video further confirms that I am moving in the right direction. Thanks for the info.
Awesome job Breanne. Let's go
Its the language of business.... Recommend a degree as foundation for any other career choice... Great for irs and other government agencies
I was a Marketing, Operations and Statistics major. After I graduated, I work in Big 4 audit to polish some hard skills and want to learn something portable. I do not want to stay in accouting for long. The 2 years in big 4, I got a CPA and cultivate a detail-oriented aptitude. I then moved to equity valuation consulting.
Accounting qualifications is a good choice if you want to work in business, and to earn portable skills. I do not work in marketing and operations jobs because their job markets are ultra competitive. Those who get pure arts or sciences degrees are competing for the same job.
Business degrees are worthless, however accounting degrees are very valuable.
Head scratcher. Accounting is a business degree🤔.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown yes I’m just saying that all of the other business degrees are worthless. Management, marketing, finance, economics, general business, etc.
Forget the results….talk about that process. This what they not disclosing 😂😂😂😂. If you don’t already have a bachelors in accounting, I don’t want to hear it.
Your content is really improving my life. Teaching me the information which will help me towards a brighter future. I appreciate you Uncle Wade
I am glad I can help. If you have any topics you want me to cover related to degrees or careers let me know.💪🏾 And thanks for your support.
These are facts. I have read story after story from lame journalist about these accountants stealing from rich folks like NBA players.
If you can’t count your own money. Some left brain linear prisoner will while smiling in your face slowly and methodically stealing your family’s income.
Why are they stealing if they are doing their job?
Hi, you've earned a new subscriber from this video alone! I'm currently in my senior year of high school and I intend on pursuing a career in accountancy. However, I have a few concerns I would love some help with and it would mean a lot if you could share your insights on them. So if you see this, I hope you could kindly take a bit out of your time and answer my queries (if your time and energy permits it, of course!)
1 - Would you recommend pursuing accountancy in the US? I'm currently finishing up my senior year in the Philippines via online schooling. My parents plan on sending me to a Philippine university, but I want to pursue a degree abroad. Also, if you have any recommendations on countries great to pursue accountancy, I would love to hear about it!
2 - Would you recommend pursuing a dual degree in Accountancy and a Tech degree (Information Technology, Information Systems, or MIS)? I had the idea to do dual degree as a means to prepare for the possible automatization of the corporate world in a few years time. However, I do have my concerns as there are only a few people pursuing this career path. I admit, I'm asking because I am a bit discouraged from pursuing it.
3 - How important is your chosen college in terms of accountancy job prospects? Does going to a good university really impact your chances of being hired in a great company/firm?
If you ever answer this, thank you so much in advance. Nonetheless, take care and keep safe. I'm definitely gonna check out your videos after I post this comment lol
Great video but your voice audio is too low, the sound effects almost broke my eardrums 😭
I just subscribed love from Pakistan
😂😂 Rocketman!!
I'm an Accountant for 6 years now and studying for the CPA. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you've said here!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Would you recommend pairing a business minor with an accounting major?
Hi Jessica, no I don't recommend this combo as you will get the foundations of business with accounting.
Do I need a cpa because I just want a career that pays around 60-80k mid career and is stable
No you don't need a CPA if you want a job in that range in your mid career. Try stretching yourself as that is not a lot of money especially with the inflation we are seeing. #ladderclimb
I switched from majoring in Accounting to Gender Studies. Best decision I made because Accounting doesn’t pay as well. Follow your passion, people!
What is your career John?
@@ElevateToTheUnknown What sounds harder to your "ears"? 1. Masters Degree in Economics or 2. Masters Degree in Statistics?
@@scholarlyanalyst7700 both :)
Lmao nice bait comment. Accountants with cpas make money
I sounds like you plagiarized someone else's video, because the top ten millionaires degree have a uploader make the same mistake of saying #6 instead of #7.
I’m an accounting and MIS major and I’m really having trouble figuring out how to leverage that. I have an internship with an accounting firm this summer but I’m not sure I’ll be able to work on my MIS skill set with an accounting firm. Do you have any suggestions?
You can work on technology projects on the side. Build websites, apps, freelance, etc. This will keep your technology skills sharp.
Hey,.i am.also confused on BBA. Acca and MIS .. what should i go on ?
You can go into data analytics and/or BI. Most data analyst do NOT have business acumen at the level of an accounting major. You know and/or can learn the business inside out through accounting. You can provide deeper insights--trust me this is a huge win. Plus, you can get to six figures faster in techish roles, but have more security by having highly valuable skills: accounting and infosys. I have a master's in infosys. While my degree has opened big doors, I'm seeing that having accounting skills, which I don't have, is not only good on a job but in life.

Good info, but your volume levels need some balance. Quiet when you are talking, but sound effects and music are blaring.
Thanks. I've improved greatly since this video.
Graduating in a year with accounting, just trying to hype myself up XD
Dude! Are you the guy from the manosphere highlights channel??? Lol
Not sure of what you are talking about but flatter me.
I’m so angry. I’ve majored in prelaw instead of accounting and now it is my junior year and I just wish I can get a bachelors in accounting instead of prelaw.
Don't worry, you are the best president ever and will be able to figure it out.
Do you have anymore accounting videos?
Im half way done with my associates in business administration. Do you think I should go back and get a MBA or CPA?
Depends on your ultimate goal and what you like. What is it? CPAs are a different breed of people. They are detail oriented, they are creative, they are continuous learners. If this fits you and your long term goal then go for it as most millionaires have accounting degrees.
Definitely MBA if you have to go back (but then again I’m only giving my two-cents). It’ll keep your options more open. CPA hones in more specifically on Accounting alone and it’s not great if that’s not what you really want to specialise in exclusively.
CPA
I really dislike that you spoke so quietly, leading me to turn my volume up, and then played rocket man with my volume all the way up.
Lmao😂😂😂. This is one of my earlier videos. Video production and quality has gotten alot better since then. Cheers.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown cheers man!
This is such a lie for black folks. Accounting has always been a profession for non colored folks. Location is really important.
What are you trying to communicate?
@@ElevateToTheUnknown I am saying Accounting is a dying career. Look at the numbers 300,000 Accountants have quit the profession within the last 3yrs.
Do you think it's good to study Accounting degree in USA as an international student? I'm really confused in choosing Accounting or MIS. I'm looking for a STEM major that will help to at least work in the U.S as STEM major allows for 24 month OTP extension. for days, I decided to study accounting to become a US CPS but I'm not getting best combination which includes both accounting and STEM major. Please help me. Thank you
What did you chose ?? And how it is going on ?
im sorry idk if i heard you right did you say the starting salary was for accounting was 38,000?
No you didn't.
Dude!! Your sound effects suck!! But your info keeps me listening
😂😂😂😂😂. 🤷🏾♂️
@@ElevateToTheUnknown I was listen in my car with the sound up high cause your voice was low. Then I got blasted 😂. 👍
@@thousandaireradio3199 sorry my man! 👍🏾
There are less black CPAs than there are black lawyers and black doctors. If you are not in an area with 20% or more black American population, it will be very difficult to find employment, especially if you happen to be a Black man. Good knowledge degree, but I would advise black men to pursue IT, Computer Science, or engineering. There is a lot less racial discrimination in those fields, those fields are much more racially diverse, and they usually pay better.
Wow interesting . I’m a 24 year old black man that just got my bachelors in Accounting and your comment just made me scared and excited at the same time .. I noticed that when working towards my degree I was the only black student in my accounting courses even tho my campus was pretty diverse . Interesting.
Not so sure if I agree with that. Especially when it comes to the money aspect. If you're very good as a CPA, you will at the very least become a Sr. Manager and Director and you'll make anywhere between $200K-$300K per year for life.
@@michaeldejesus8234 There is a CPA firm "good old boy" work requirement that you must meet to get your CPA license. So, you can't become a CPA if no CPA firm will hire you. Again, native black american men face the greatest amount of job discrimination in general, and it is even more present in CPA firms. So, if you cannot even get in the door, you are definitely not going to make to a senior management level. Just saying, if the local demographics are hostile in accounting as most locations in the USA will be, just go into IT, computer science, or engineering. They offer more and better opportunities with a higher likelihood for success for native black american men than accounting is willing to offer to most native black american men.
@@goodtiymz8296 I'm sorry but you just missed me with that BS as I am a Dominican man of color who is a CPA and an experienced manager at the age of 32. These firms do want to hire people of color. The problem is this is an industry that doesn't get push into the black community as do medicine and law. Also the last time I checked, I haven't seen many people of color working in tech either. Moral of the story, your destiny is based on work ethic. You can achieve whatever you want in whatever industry you choose if you want it bad enough.
@@michaeldejesus8234 The data supports what I have said, and a person of color (whatever that is) and a native black american man is two separate and wholly different things. Native black americans have built this country over the last 500 years through a strong work ethic, yet native black americans are still the poorest and most hated and discriminated against groups in the USA. So, those of us who live in the real world know that it takes more than a work ethic, although I am sure that might sound strange to an immigrant that has been welcome into the so called American Dream. By the way, I did not miss your point, I was simply speaking to native black americans about the job market for native black americans, and with yourself being an immigrant man of color (whatever that is) you obviously can't relate.
Do they need accountants in communist countries
Yes
They do, actually
health and social care or accounting sir?
Your choice. The healthcare field is in need and accounting is a great degree.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown AAT studies in college or university for Accounting.
I'm 40 and just starting college is that to old
No it's not. Life is about growth and change. Keep doing both and it will be worth it.
Would u rather be 42 with associates I. accounting or 42 no degree🤷🏽♀️it’s never to late💞 I have a 72 yr old in one of my classes
I totally agree with this!
Great channel and content my man. Appreciate the support.
What about automation?
@@first9299 what about it?
@@ElevateToTheUnknown worried about accounting jobs market being disrupted by automation.
@@first9299 understanding laws and rules is and will always be up to human interpretation. So I don't think that automation will eliminate jobs in accounting.
Yes, l am going to be a accountant .
Great choice!!!!
💎💎💎
MBA or CPA?
It depends on what you want to do in your career. CPAs usually make more if money is a factor.
I’m about to earn my BA degree in accounting but need 150 credits to take the CPA exam. Do most accountants get their MBA jus to suffice the 150 credits requirements? Also I do not know what type of accounting I would like to do.
@@dontrealbrown225 No, most accountants don't get their MBAs. The 150 credits for a CPA is completely different than what a MBA will offer you. Getting a CPA is more cost effective than getting an MBA. You will need to determine what your ultimate goal is first before pursuing any. And if you want a decision made for you, go with the CPA.
CPA. get about five years experience. then law school. the specialty becomes a license to print money.
@@dontrealbrown225 get an MS in Tax.
lol accounting will be dead due to blockchain. You can't be a millionaire with accounting like in the old days and 25% percent of millionaires are accountants. The best case scenario is big 4 or bust. That is not a good career choice. You want a degree that opens up tons of options like math, cs, or engineering. It is stupid to waste 4 years doing extended high school instead of building a life for yourself first.
Imagine selling your soul for an 8% chance of self-employment compared to the 50% seen in construction or 20-50% seen in various medial practices.
Sure... @doritos2030 😂. Eating doritos has proven to cause bubble guts. You can't be a millionaire if you eat doritos. C'mon man!
3 years into it and planning to gtfo and move to engineering
@@dawman7857 what is the reason?
@@ElevateToTheUnknown well to put it as simple as possible, with an accounting degree youre expected to hit 6 figures 10-15 years in your career and in most cases you wont even reach there, that is why my mental health is getting screwed because of how bad my decision was choosing this major, i could have easily gone into nursing, biomed, mechanical or electrical like most of my friends but here i am stuck, overthinking and depressed.
@@dawman7857 Not true. It depends on the route you take. Everyone on my path (public accounting) break 6 figures in 5 years. Also, 6 figures helps, but doesn't guarantee that you will become a millionaire.
