Totally 100% your fault. Nothing to do with accounting or what you studied in your younger times.

No idea where you get the idea of what you study will dictate what you do for the rest of your life.
Just for your reference, I'm also an accounting graduate, 2nd class upper honors.

Do you know what I'm doing now?
Head of Marketing and also dabbling with cloud engineering as part of my side gigs (Some big MNCs are my clients and I still managing their stack). Totally unrelated to what I studied.

Point is upskilling is important and don't hold back - dabble and explore into what you like to do.

I have a question for you. DId you go straight to Marketing right after you graduated in accountancy?
Are you a double degree holder? IT/Accountancy?
Are you currently single or have family commitments?

1. No, after graduation I started with training, then gradually transitioned into digital marketing, followed by website development. From there, I moved into CRM systems, and now I’m working with cloud engineering systems. I reckon my next would be AI & System development (Analytics) as there's huge potential in this field.

But you should be able to see all the fields I move to are not related and need to relearn from scratch if want to be competent.

2. Just accountancy and don't even have finance. I know most people ended with Accounting and Finance.
3. Married.
