Advice


Kids,

If your parents tells you that Accounting is all about knowing your math and counting money like a boss, damn right they're wrong.

Excelling in modern maths does not guarantee you will ace in university, in fact, it bears no relevance when you reach your third year onwards.

If you insist on pursuing an education in this field, please read up on audit, tax, risk assessment, analyzing businesses, company ethics, corporate accounting, and finance management to get an idea of what you're getting yourself into. And by the way, don't be surprise when sometime during the course you encounter a couple of irrelevant pain in the ass subjects like statistics, HR and law.

Sincerely,
A final year finance student.
