Hi people.. Just wanna find out if it is wise to study
accountancy in a university. Is it a wise choice? What are the job
prospects of studying accountancy? Eventually to be an accountant
or auditor?
I heard and read that one can do quite a lot of stuffs with an
accountancy degree: Eg, working in banking/finance/private or civil
sector.. Career is not merely restricted to accting or
auditing. Is it true? Though i know that a large number of local
accountancy graduates will go on to work in the "Big
4" auditing firms and work their way up the coporate
ladder. But is this the best route to be taken? Given that there
are so many accounting graduates graduating from the 3 local
unis??
Is it possible for accountancy graduates to be a part of
the management level? Like manager of departments? Or they
will just be doing jobs that are boring and mudane like number
crunching, preparing financial reports etc?
Finally, is it better to have a business or accounting degree?
Is it true that whatever a business graduate can do, an
accountancy graduate can do likewise? But accounting graduates will
have advantage over business graduates
because accounting degree is a professional degree,
something like law and medicine? While business degree is rather
general..
Thank you for responding.
