- Hey, y'all. Welcome back to another video. Today I am going to give you the pros and cons about being an accountant. After my last video of, like, a day in the life of an accountant and blogger. I got a lot of questions about being an accountant. And a lot of out there are already accountants, so that's good to hear.

A lot of people actually still had questions about being an accountant because they're either majoring in accounting, or was interested in majoring in accounting in college, or you were interested in going out and looking for an accounting job. So I decided to go ahead and answer all of your questions, give you the pros and cons, my thoughts, the gist, all that.

If you don't know what accounting is or what accountants do, the bottom line is organize the financial data, making sure that it is representing the company financially properly in their financial statements. If you don't know what financial statements are, you can Google it. But there are financial statements that public companies have in order to show their position in the market, and what-- their stance as a company, show their profits, losses, and their revenue. All of that, where it comes from, you can see all of that in their financial statements.

Accountants are basically gathering all of that data in so many different departments, putting it together, making sure it's proper, making sure everything is timely, and making sure that financial statement is showing the correct stance for the company. That is just the gist of it. I mean, it's an overall gist.

I'm sure accountants are like, girl, we do a lot more than that. But overall, yeah, it's just the gist of what we do. So a little bit of background, I'm an accountant, as you know, and I do YouTube, and blogging, Instagram, all of that on the side.

I have been an accountant-- it will be seven years on December 13. And I have my master's in accounting. I do not have a CPA because I don't want one-- [LAUGHTER] but we can get into that later as well. But yeah, I have my master's in accounting.

I got my bachelor's from Sam Houston State University, and got my master's from Prairie View A&M University, all here in Texas. I wanted to be an accountant when I was little because I was good at numbers. Just because you're good with numbers has nothing to do-- [LAUGHTER] has nothing to do with accounting, and we'll get into that as well. So I want to go ahead and give you guys all of the pros that I listed as-- for being an accountant, then I'll give you the cons, then I'll give you some just background information and answer your questions.

Bring out my handy-dandy note pad. The first pro I had was financial stability. That is one thing that I really appreciate about my job is that it really supports me financially. Like, it is really good. Accountants make good money, and it's-- you even start out making a decent living as-- like, think of it.

You graduate at, what, 22, 23 average? You know, an average college student graduates with their bachelor's at maybe 22. And just think you're going in, making over $40,000 at the time. So I think that's pretty good as far as salary is concerned. You're going in, you don't really have a whole budget thing together, and you're making a decent living.

But that's to start. Like, that's a starting, no-experience accountant's salary. I think another pro is job availability, especially here in Texas. We have plenty of available jobs as accountant. I got-- recruiters keep me up now like, hey, are you interested in the-- no. I-- [LAUGHTER] I still get offered plenty of jobs, even at my current job.

So it's very easy to get a job here, especially down South, especially in Texas. And right now, I'm a senior accountant. And so you can go way past that. Like, there's levels beyond that.

Another pro it is not necessary for you to have your CPA license in order to become an accountant and make decent money. I talked to one of my really good friends, and she had-- I think she had-- at the time had had her CPA for like two or three years. And she was like, girl, it's a piece of paper. It honestly does nothing.

You can literally walk in and say that you can get paid more money than what they were going to offer. But if you're a good negotiator, then you don't have to have that piece of paper, or the two years of studying, and actually going to the test, and taking a very difficult test in order to get more pay. So it's a lot of experience base. You don't have to have the CPA in order to be a proficient accountant.

The next pro is that there are many areas in accounting. There's not just one specific thing you can do in accounting. You have a tax accountant. You have a receivables, payroll, payables. You have FX accounting, or foreign exchange. Let's see, funding, cash accountant, treasury, all of these different things that accountants can actually be accounting.

There's so many different positions. So if you don't one area, you can kind of maneuver in the other areas, and see which one best fits you. That's another pro that I feel is very good, especially if you're at a big company. When they have all those different departments, you can maneuver around that and still stay within the company, but have the various different types of training and experience.

Another pro, I feel, is knowing accounting, and then the back end of everything that accountants do is a great tool for entrepreneurship. If you ever plan on owning your own business later in life, I feel like accountants, the knowledge that they know are great staples in order to build a business-- a profitable business at that. So I think even if you're interested in it to kind of get it a little bit, but you know this is not going to be something you want to do for your entire life, I think it's still great to get into accounting because you learn so much on the back end of running a business, making sure it's properly stated, how to do revenue budgeting, and all of that. You can learn a lot of that in different areas in accounting, and go on to fund, and create, and mold your own company.

Another pro is I personally feel that it's easy to move up the corporate ladder in accounting because there are so many different areas. And I think, especially when you can tap into the different departments of like tax, and FX, and all of that, you have all of that under your belt, it's very easy for you to go for a lead, or supervisor, or managerial position because of the different areas and different experience that you may have. So I think it's really easy to move up the corporate ladder by the time you're 30.

Especially if you start off in accounting from the time that you graduate, it's very simple. Especially if you're going from big business to big business. I think it's very good to have that, and they'll be very easy to move up.

Some big companies offer the CPA and tuition reimbursement. I think that's another great thing of accounting. And I don't think it's just an accounting thing, but it's just a corporate thing in general. If you go to a big company, and you decide to go to get your master's, which is what I did-- after I got my accounting job, I went and got my master's, and my-- the company that I worked at the time was offering tuition reimbursement. And they also offered some type of reimbursement plan for your CPA. So if you want to do those things, you have the option of getting reimbursed money. You don't have to pay out of pocket.

Another pro for accounting, I would say, is you can get a job anywhere. Like if you-- [LAUGHTER] you can get a job. If you're in accounting, you have so many years or whatever, you can go to marketing if you want. If you're an accountant, you can go to sales.

From accounting, you can go to the FBI. You can go to so many different places, like, with an accounting degree or accounting experience because accounting is everywhere. It's not going anywhere. It's so easy to find a place at a company with accounting because that is embedded in every business. They have to-- if every business is a business, that means it makes money some type of way, which means, in some type of way, they're going to need an accountant. So-- or accountants.

So yes, I think there's a place for you everywhere for accounting. And you can just do anything with an accounting degree or accounting experience. I honestly feel like the doors are open, and it's just infinite-ish-- [LAUGHTER] to where you get to go, and what you can do. Now let's go on to the cons, honey.

The biggest con, or one of the biggest cons for me, are the blackout travel dates. But because accountants are working like-- we work on the one month the next month. So for instance, in November we're trying-- in the first week of November, we're closing out the books for October. All of the business transactions, money that has been moved and everything, we account for through journal entries, or whatever it is that we need to do to make sure the financials are properly stated for October. All of that happens in the first week of November, which means November, that first week, is a hectic week.

Like, it's heavy as far as transaction-based work, man hours, and all of that. So it's pretty much blackout dates for that first week, meaning you can't call in, you can't travel the first week of every month, stuff like that, because it's like all hands on deck most of the time. Especially if you're at a company where they're pretty much running it to the rim with how many people they can have in order to do the functions that need to be done by the end of the year.

By that I mean they may be short-staffed, and they don't plan on hiring anybody else. [LAUGHTER] So that is a big thing. Yeah, it's some dates. That, and then year end. Year end is pretty much, you're going over all of the months for the entire year, and you're closing out in December. But at the same time, you're looking at a scope of everything from January to December to make sure everything is properly stated for the year end financials that will be coming out.

That happens in January. January is a nice, fresh month. You lose. It's a new year. You're ready. But then-- [LAUGHTER] but in accounting, there's no traveling in January because year end close is like month end close times two.

So it's extremely hectic, all hands on deck. I can't request any time off during that. I can't expect to be able to go travel, or anything like that. Now, most of the time, most people don't because it's right after Christmas. And it is not as heavy travel dates because people are trying to re-up their money from Christmas and the holidays.

But if you're somebody like me, and you like to travel when it's not extremely hectic, then January and February are perfect months for that. So that's a no in accounting. You can't do that. So-- unless you're at a company, like I said, where all hands-- you have more hands instead, so you can help-- somebody can help you while you're gone.

Another thing is, on those hectic blackout dates-- this is another con, is you're most likely going to work late. And it depends on what kind of company you're at that depends on how late you stay. The first company I was at for accounting, honey, I stayed till 6:30. And I remember being like, oh my God, why?

Now, I was originally supposed to get off at 4:30. And then I would stay until 6:30, and I'm like, oh, I hate working late. I remember complaining about that. But then I leave from that company to go to a smaller, non-public company, and, honey, I had no reason to complain at the last company because I would be scheduled to get off of work at 5:30.

That would be my eight hours. But I wouldn't be able to leave until 9:00 or 10:00 o'clock. So I'd be working like four or five hours over, depending on-- and then that's several days in a row. So that's annoying. It's finally got better at the job that I am now.

I don't have to stay that late, but late is-- that is going to happen during those blackout times that you're most likely going to be working late. I don't have to work weekends, thank God. But in January, I will have to work weekends based on how the holiday fell, and how I'm taking my time off.

So we're going to have to work one Saturday. But one Saturday a year, that's fine. But outside of that, I really don't have to work weekends. Another con, which really isn't a heavy con depending on how you handle it, is it can kind of take a little bit longer to find your very first position because accounting is such a big thing in college. A lot of people actually-- at least at my school actually go for accounting degrees, come out, and all are rushing around the same companies, trying to be placed into the same entry-level positions.

So it's kind of like highly competitive. But one thing I will say, if you network your butt off, you won't have no problem. If you know somebody in accounting already, it will be so easy to get into a job. Like my-- I had a family friend that was in accounting who kind of helped pass along my résumé for an entry-level position, and at my first job. And I ended up getting the position.

So it just kind of helps you get in front of the people a lot more if you know somebody there. So I would work on that. And if you have any friends that might have already gotten jobs in accounting firms, or any other firms as in accounting, then talk to them and say, hey girl, is your job hiring? Or hey guy, is your job hiring? Or anything like that.

Then give them your résumé, if they are, and then that's an easy foot in the door. So honestly, that is easy. As long as you network, keep in contact with your professors, keep in contact with your friends from your classes, and keep in contact with family members, just network, and see if anybody is hiring. And they'll put the foot-- your foot in the door for you in order to get that first position.

It wasn't hard for me. I think it took me-- well, it took me, seriously looking, maybe two months before I got my first accounting job. And that's me seriously applying, and putting my foot out there. And the only reason why it took that long is because I waited until like a month and a half before I actually called the person that was in accounting, and then put my résumé in her hands so that she could give it to somebody else.

So if I would have done that, it would have literally took me two weeks to get the job. So yeah. But yeah, do that, and it can happen a lot faster when you network. Another con, at least for me, is that accounting is not creative-- it's not a creative job. You know, you're dealing with a lot of numbers, and analytics, and it's not something where you're going in and creating videos, or you're going in and you're doing other things that can help feed that creative side of your mind.

So at the same time, if you're like me, if you're like both analytical and creative, then you will need an outlet at some point. You will need to be able to create at home maybe, do some DIYs, or be a part of a club, or something. Or do a little side business to help feed the creative side of your brain so that you can still be getting juices flowing everywhere, and you feel fulfilled in life. So yeah, I think it's a con, but it is something that you can fix.

Another con is, if you do decide to go get your CPA, honey, that is a hard test, which is why-- one of the reasons why I'm not doing it. I don't-- [LAUGHTER] I don't-- accounting is good for me to help feed my business, and help feed the lifestyle that I want to live. But I don't care enough about the world of accounting, or like the job enough in itself for me to go and get a CPA. No.

It can take two to three years of your life just studying, and I mean studying-- every day of your life, every time you have free time, just studying. And so it takes forever. Sometimes it can take people two years. Sometimes it has taken people a year and a half.

But you have to have, I think, 150 credits before you go to get your CPA. I feel like if you went and got your master's degree, you have 150 credits. That's fine. And so you can be eligible for a CPA.

I did not have to have a CPA to get any of the jobs I had. So your girl is not ever getting a CPA. And I don't think I ever will. So-- I don't feel the need to.

So yeah, if you do decide to, it is very, extremely hard to pass, but it is possible. Don't make me make you think it's not possible. It is very possible. It's just extremely hard, and time-consuming.

And honestly, another con is you may regret your job choice at some point. Accounting isn't all that simple, so it may be some points where it just gets so difficult or overwhelming that you'd be like, oh my God, I can't believe I majored in this. It is expected. Like, if you decide to go into accounting, that's something that is going to happen at some point in your career.

You're going to second guess why the heck you decided to go to school for accounting. But I do think that having an accounting degree, and having experience as an accountant is worth it. You just will regret it at some point.

Another con that is very mentally draining because you're basically doing analytics for eight hours of the day, four to five days out of the week. And it is mentally draining, and it's pro-- you're doing a lot of problem solving. So it's just high-level thinking all day, every day.

And-- unless you're at a company that have its high points and its downtime, which most companies do, you will be mentally drained. And hopefully, you get with a company that knows how to actually show their employees that they are appreciated, and have a great employee-company build-up relationship, then you may not be as mentally drained-- if there's a great life-- work-life balance.

But again, it depends on the company, and it depends on the task that you do. It depends on your job description. A lot of the time, it can be mentally draining. I'm not going to lie. It can.

The last con is that it's a desk job. And that's a good thing at some point because you're not staying on your feet all day, but let's-- like I do run into the bus driver booty syndrome, where you have that box booty. [LAUGHTER] So I would definitely say workout, walk, or something that help-- during lunch, or afterwards, or something that can kind of help you get your body moving, and, you know, limbs working and stuff.

I would definitely say stretch every day because it gets old sitting in a desk for seven years or plus, however long you decide to be an accountant. But for me, almost seven years sitting in a desk for eight hours of the day, and sometimes 10 hours out of the day. Sometimes 12, 13, 15, hours out of the day because of-- you know. But it's just the boo-- I got to get the booty back, right? And it'll get there. [LAUGHTER]

So here are some just tips in working in corporate, and about accounting in general. Accounting is heavy in analytics. So if you feel that you're good in math, that's just one half of accounting actually, being able to take A plus B, it equals C. That's just one half of it. But a lot of accounting is problem solving, and it's heavy in analytics, which is basically numerical problem solving.

And you have to be able to know where to look. You have to be able to know what software to use. You have to be able to know where to go in the software. You have to be able to know how to maneuver numbers to make it easy for you to help solve this problem in Excel if you decide to create tables, and pivot tables, and vlookups, hlookups, ifs-- all of that is heavy in analytics.

So if you are an analytical person, you find yourself asking questions all the time, you find yourself googling a lot of things because you're just very inquisitive, I think this is a really good job for you because if-- you will actually ask the question OK, why, does this look like this, and what happened last month as to why our numbers are different this month? What was the difference that made it so much higher this month, or something.

If you actually ask those questions naturally, and go and search the correct places, you'll keep those things in mind a lot easier. Versus me-- [LAUGHTER] I'm not a inquisitive person. I don't think I am, at least. Unless I'm interested in it, I don't care.

So it's hard for me to be analytical, but I am really good at math. So, like I said, it's only half the problem. It's only half of the puzzle of being an accountant. So Yeah, that's just one thing to know. Another thing I would suggest, and that's-- I thought of this after watching another video-- is that if you do decide to major in accounting in college, I would definitely have a non-business field minor.

And what I mean is, if you decide to do accounting as your major, as your minor I would do communications, or psychology, or something else that would get you knowledge in another field so you can be more well-rounded. Accounting teaches you so much about the back end financially.

If you know other things, you will be more marketable in the job field out there in the job search. Also when you get ready to start your own business, if that's something that you want, those things can kind of help you put things together. You know, I would have definitely wished that my minor was marketing because I feel like marketing is just so powerful to know nowadays, and I'm so interested in marketing more than I am in accounting. I would have honestly flipped it, and been a marketing major, and an accounting minor. But I think that is just-- it's business related, but it also is something that helps in other business as well.

Another great thing to know about accounting, and being in corporate in general, is moving to different departments, especially in accounting, helps you grow your income faster. So, for instance, I worked at my first job. I went-- and I don't feel comfortable saying what I get paid now, but it's not too far from six figures. But it's not there yet. [LAUGHTER]

But I will say that, when I did get into accounting, I started at $45,100, I think is what it was. After my research, when I started my job, I thought that I was at only going to be able to get in at $38,000 salary, but I was blessed to find a position that paid me $45,100. It took me three years to get to $60,000, and that was at-- that was a while ago. That was like two and a half years ago.

So it took me three years to get to that. But and I don't think it should have taken that long. But the main reason why is because of some functional things that was going on at my company. They weren't giving pay raises and any of that at a certain time. So for like three-- two and a half to three years, I was really underpaid for what I was doing work-wise. I was being overworked, severely underpaid.

So they gave me $60,000 in order to keep me. I stayed there for two months. No, I think I stayed there for four to five months, and then left. And-- [LAUGHTER] I was like, no, I'm done.

So yes, if you move to different departments, for instance, if you start off and reconciliations at $45,000, then you can eventually go to tax, and ask them for $55,000. And then go to it'll be easier to go to treasury, and then ask them for $65,000. And it's easier for you to get the amount of money that you want when you go to a new position.

So, for instance, if you want to make $80,000, and they start off making $70,000, then you're going to-- it's going to take you a lot longer to get to $80,000 versus you staying at the position at $70,000, and moving to another position, and asking for $80,000. Because when you're at your current position, they're only going to increase you based on a percentage. They're not going to increase you based on dollar amount.

So you may get a 2% to 4% raise at your current position. But at a new company, or a new position at a different department within your same company, they will come up with an actual number. That will help you get to the actual number you're looking for as far as income versus you staying there and just waiting to get a raise, and raise in their rates until you get to a certain income.

So move around a little bit more within different departments if you're at a huge company, or go to different companies if you're at smaller ones, and get more of what you want pay-wise there. It's a lot quick-- you'll get there a lot quicker, to your desired salary.

One thing to note about accounting, you have your private companies, and you have your public companies. And that's in any position, honestly. But when it comes to accounting, I would rather go work for someone that is public versus a company that is private. And I will tell you why.

I work for a private company now. Their books are-- their processes are a lot more manual. And-- meaning that the systems that they have built-in aren't doing the work for us as much as they can because they don't have as much of the budget as a big company does. And a public company, most likely to be-- you know, have more of a budget in order to do what it is that can make your job a lot easier.

So a lot of the analytical things that we have to do are more manual than what I would have to do at a public company. And that's what makes my job a lot more mentally draining. It's because I'm physically doing everything that we had systems built to do at my previous company. First company I worked with was a public company-- seamless.

Like, if I needed to find out what was different from other than-- I didn't have to go, and make all of these pivot tables, and do all of this in Excel, and make it. We had a system built for that, for me to go and do analytics within a certain system.

At a private company, it's a smaller company. They don't have the money in order to create those systems and structures that allow us to do our job a lot easier. So we have to physically, manually do a lot of that. And the hands available to do that are a lot less than what was available at a public company. So if you want a better work-life balance, and more mental peace, I would say work for a public company versus a private.

Another thing to note, that accounting is a corporate job, which means you have to look a certain way. You have to be corporate. You have to wear your work attire instead of your long nails, or your shorts, guys, or tennis shoes, guys and women. Certain hairstyles, you may not be able to do-- certain hair colors, rather. Not necessarily hairstyles, but more hair color you can't do.

And you just have to be manicured. You have to look good. Another thing I love about corporate is that you can have the app-- the option of getting a 9/80 schedule. 9/80 schedule means you are working four days one week, and five days the next week. And every day that you work, you're working 10 hours-- you're working a nine-hour shift versus an eight-hour shift so that you're off every other Friday. That's a 9/80.

I loved that. I had that at my first company. It was a public firm, services firm, and I absolutely love it. I absolutely love it. This company that I have is not that. It's an eight-hour shift. I work Monday through Friday, eight hours. The other one, it's just-- you can get so much done, and you can save so much PTO, because you have every other Friday off, and you can do whatever it is you need to do on those Fridays off. And then you have your actual weekend to be yourself and chill with your family instead of having to handle everything on the weekends, or take time off your PTO, and abuse your PTO in order to get something done during the week.

And then there's code switching. Y'all know what that means. Those are the things that I would suggest, and that I wanted to tell you guys about accounting. Someone asked, do I love my job? I like the stability that my job provides. I do not like accounting. [LAUGHTER]

And I learned that, I think, my second year in accounting. And the reason that I've kept doing it is because accounting has been feeding my lifestyle, and it has been feeding my side business. And I've only had this business for three years, so I'm just now starting to turn a profit. That's what happens when you start a business.

You don't turn a profit from day one. You actually have to build for a while before you turn a profit. And so, accounting has been feeding that.

I'm going to answer a few of your questions-- just a few. Someone asks, how do you find the-- how did you find the motivation to get through school for-- as an accounting major? There are some subjects in accounting that are more difficult than others. I would definitely say that.

But the best thing for you to do is, one, bother the heck out of your professors. Usually when you get your syllabus, they have their hours on there. Every single-- if you don't know what to do on certain things, or what they explain in class, you're not understanding it, go to the office. Take the time to go to the office and get that one-on-one free tutoring that they offer you, because that's basically what they're saying. Come to visit me if you have any problems during these hours.

That's basically what they're saying. So go to their office and talk to them about some things that you're having problems on. See if they can articulate it and teach it to you in a different way that helps you grasp it, and then that's one thing I would do definitely. If that's not an option for you, which it should be-- if not, you need to another professor.

But if that's not an option, see if your school has free tutoring. Mine did. Sam Houston had free tutoring in different areas. So basically, they had grad students to give free tutoring for extra credit, or something like that. And then those students sat with you one-on-one to give you the tutoring.

It's the same thing as going to your professor, honestly. So I would definitely do that, and group sessions. If you are not able to figure some things out on your own, or if you feel like you've been struggling, see if they're having any group study sessions in your class. Just like kind of ask around, and see if anybody is in any group study sessions.

And in those study sessions, if you're not able to understand something, somebody around you will help you understand it. I've had to do that in a couple of classes, and I think it's the best thing. We all got like A's in the class. So definitely try out those three options, and you should at least find some help in the areas that you're having problems with. As far as how much work, girl, I can't help you there. That's accounting.

I mean, I can't help you there because it's a lot-- like there's a lot of work involved, as far as school is concerned. But yeah, group sessions can help with that, too, because some people can do a portion, other people can do another portion of the assignment, and then you all kind of collaborate on the things that you did not do, but offer the things that you did do. I've done that before. It's not cheating if it's a group.

Another question is, is the CPA worth getting? I talked about that before. I don't think you have to have it in order to have a great career in accounting. Like I said, I'm not too far-- I'm not like right up on $100,000, but I'm not too far from it. So yeah. And I don't have a CPA.

And I haven't had any problems getting a position not having a CPA. So I have told them that I'm CPA eligible. That I am, because I have 150 credits. So I can take the CPA if I wanted to. I just don't want to. Strategic talking in saying what you want to say is definitely going to help you get the job.

Someone said, tips for finding a good paying job as a Colored woman in the field of accounting after college. Black women are all up in through accounting. I can tell you that. Now, at least at every company I've worked at, and the companies that I've seen at parties, and networked with, we're all up it through.

So it's no problem. I don't know where you live, though. I guess that's the thing. But I live here in Texas, and racism-- racism is everywhere. But I live here in Texas, and I haven't heard of a Black woman having a hard time finding a job as an accountant because we are very educated, and we are-- it's pretty easy.

I would say it's pretty easy. I think this is coming from someone that hasn't gotten out there yet, so she's kind of nervous based on what you see on TV. But yeah, I don't see a problem with you being a Black woman finding an accountant job at all.

The work-life-- just how to balance work and life, I can't specifically say other than I don't allow them to work me-- unless it's outside of close. When it's outside of close, I don't work late. Regardless of what they have going on, I just-- that's the thing. I let-- am very communicated about that I don't work late after close, or-- I mean outside of close, or anything like that.

And I do not take my work home unless it's a day that I need to work from home, and I don't have PTO available, or anything like that. I just don't work from home unless it's something that I need to be at home for, and I can still get work done. But I do not allow them to offer me working from home in order to get something done. I don't do that.

And I've been very upfront when I got my job that I do not want to have any late nights outside of close. That is very important to me. So I would be very open and upfront with what your expectations are, but I don't think this person has had their first accounting job yet. So kind of go through your accounting jobs, and then you'll kind of know what you want. Like, you'll eventually know, OK, this is something I don't want, this is something I don't want.

And then you'll be very-- you'll be more upfront with what you do want when you get into your accounting job interviews. So yeah, it comes with experience. Someone asks, what do you do in a day? Girl, I don't have that kind of time in this video.

I do a lot of journal entries. I will say that. Especially at this company that I'm at now, because it's smaller, and they don't have a lot of systems to do the stuff for us. But I do a lot of journal entries, and a lot of analytics figuring out why things are different. Like reconciling accounts to make sure that the balance is good up to a certain point. That's all I can actually get into right now.

You said, do you like accounting? No. I don't, but it is very stable. And if you're interested in it, I think it's a nice-- work-- a job to have in order to kind of get your foot somewhere else. OK, so yeah, those are-- pretty much all of the rest of the questions that have come up I've kind of already explained.

But yeah, like I said, I think accounting is worth it. Those are the pros and cons that are great to know about accounting before you major in it, or before you go out and find your first accounting job. So yes, definitely let me know if you like this video. If you have any more questions, dip down into the comments, and I will be sure to answer those for you. But I hope I gave you guys a little bit more insight into accounting after what I talked about.

So yeah, let me know how you like it, and if anything else tickles your fancy. [LAUGHTER] I'll see y'all later. Bye.
