Week 9, Entry 2
Another semester, almost gone. It is kind of sad at this point, but hey, what can you do? I plan on majoring in accounting because it will only take four to five years and then I can start earning decent amounts of money. That in itself is a good thing, plus I have gotten great reviews about the accounting program here at USF from quite a lot of people. In fact, one of my older friends who graduated from USF as an accountant a couple of years ago says that the program is nationally ranked. Of course, that means that this will be incredibly difficult to do, but I’m ready to do it. There are other factors for my decision as well. First off, one of my dad’s friends who has a cousin a who works as an accountant says that a lot of jobs are going to be opening up with the government in a few years because all the current accountants will be retiring. In addition, I find it interesting that the mathematics portion of accounting is overrated- apparently, according to my friend, accountants don’t actually do that much math. However, the idea is something I look forward to, and I hope to own my own accounting firm someday. After having done an entire career map on accounting last semester, I like the oppurtunities that accounting offers and I hope it will help me along the way.
