QUOTE(Blofeld @ Sep 25 2016, 01:53 AM) Same with me. Oh.. thats interesting... yeah.. i think most employers will look up on accounts degree first... because it has more demand... Pursued accountancy. Didn't like it. Instead of taking another undergraduate degree in another field, I took my postgraduate degrees in another field. Somehow, it's still my accountancy qualifications that got me jobs instead. Which field are you in now? This post has been edited by ViLenG: Sep 26 2016, 07:12 PM |

QUOTE(xCM @ Sep 25 2016, 04:47 PM) Hi TS, you should be lucky you got an education in accounting. Because in management level, you're expected to know basic accounting even if you're not in that field. It might be bland but the company survives through revenue and they need experienced people to do the job. you mean in all levels of business? they need an accounting degree to be a manager? |

Find your passion that more important , gather up enough courage and field you wish to move on the leave.
25 very young age , even at 40 isn't an old age to change career path . Importantly look for what you enjoy doing. Can't feel go back to study , probably a master degree . don't belittle a degree for accountancy you are able to join Banking , Recruitment Firm , insurance firm, investment firm , Manufacturing (not limit to account department , procurement / purchasing , pre-sales , post sales ) , Account Management (any products) ... Spoken to a risk manager in an IT firm (Global MNC) he is holding an accountancy degree . |

Very few people will have passion for their work. All this is just a rat race which feeds the capitalist economic engine. End of the day, what we want is to put food on the table, pay our bills, pay our loans, put the kids to school and buy iphone, new car once every few years.
Yes its sad....but its the truth. This post has been edited by kamilnu: Sep 27 2016, 10:05 PM |

Accounting is but a door opener. Many of us are certified accountants/chartered accountants but work in all kinds of positions/industries.
You're not going to be a number cruncher forever bah, unless if you yourself choose to be an accounting auntie/uncle. |

If u want to go into hotel mgmt or Cust serv, just apply a job in the jobstreet. Before u were selected for the interview, join forum Linkedin to discuss issues and problem in the hospitality industry.

25 is very young.. that means you still have 30 years of working life (with 55 as a retiring age). If you hate your job, you have to dread for another 30 years.
If money is not a big concern, I recommend you to try out the fields you are interested in. It may come to a surprise that when you actually work in those fields, in may not be what you thought you like. It is better to try then to regret. Any education is a stepping stone for your career path. Attitude is more important at work. Also, it is important you know your priorities in your career life. Money, passion, work-life balance and etc. If you know these, you can make better decisions in deciding your future career. |
