Some of my cousins graduate with masters in Engineering but ended up in the banking industry
No girlfriend or chance to meet girls because probably less than 5 in the class..

I wouldn't really pit one against another when it comes to EQ or comm skills. Most accountants are kayu and some are screaming banshees with regards to EQ.

Deswai I wouldn't really say which course is harder, or that one attracts better people. Too broad a topic.

But but lots of engineering students end up as forever-alones unlike some popular courses where by the time they graduate they're already in steady relationship close to marriage after a few years into their jobs.

That is probably because engineering students are mainly in a male-dominated faculty/industry. Less probability to meet girls.

Accounting firms are a lot easier to meet girls because they are stuck in the office with you 7 days a week and can’t meet any other guy. Either way no reason to be a forever alone in the Tinder era no mattter what your job is.

inb4 new course - accounting engineering & engineering accounting.

True. The ratio of females to male is like 1.5 to 1.
No reason for guys to be single

1.5 to 1?
It's 10 to 1

TS can clarify which engineering?

There are some courses out there that are titled engineering but not really the mainstream engineering kind like software engineer, disney's imagineering, etc (can't remember but there are some course that just slaps on the title engineering to attract people)

The difficulty level are miles apart.

accountant teach engineer to automate accounting.. very soon most accountant job obsolete.. only handful left to stamp approval AI computation.

Wrong question.

A pianist may find engineering hard and vice versa. It all boils down to what you are good at. Some good at math. Some good at literature etc.

Engineering + acca/CFA = deadly combo.. These guys are super smart.. Easily beat the arts stream student who do ACCA..

If smart people do difficult course, and less smart people do easier course, both will find the difficulty the same. Sorry, just being philosophical.

Tiam. Aku x nak dengar realiti.

Can a qualified engineer adapt to accounting?

Vice versa, can a qualified accountant adapt to engineering?

My coursemate in e&e engineering took up acca part time. End up graduated both in the same year

Bull....my former lecturer got his ir cos he knows the board member & interview is just for the formality nyia...but he is competent to begin with and now sits comfortably as a non independent director is a large local company. Bet he wont bother renewing his Ir.

Ghayyy

Only those who lack of knowledge in the route of getting PEPC says its difficult, don't bullshit the masses, its pretty easy with the right experience & nature of work you're doing.
Does having PEPC makes you more employable? Not really..There are some PEPC whose out of jobs now. Thats why I didn't bother even to proceed with tier-1 Ir application what more tier-2 (PEPC). PEPC is useful if you're working in consulting firm or running your own consultation firm. 80% of the time, in contracting line, not useful at all.

Plus who wants to hire an engineer with PEPC when you have loads of normal engineers who can multitask & having dynamic experience not just in engineering works, but tendering & management.

Out of context, I did civil engineering in uni & being doing civil engineering related works > 10 years now and slowly running own business together with my sister which is an accountant with ACCA.

As usual, it's easy if you know the right people. For most, it's harder to get to know the right people in the first place, so you have to trudge through the hardships first.
