>>62314687Learning to weld in 2026 is worse than learning to code in 2022.
>>62314687What do accountants even do? I can go to any ATM and it will immediately tell me how much money I have.
>>62314694I was going to higher a financial planner to do my retirement plan, but then I found some software to model it out myself and used AI to give me strategies for tax optimization. Saved myself a few thousand.
>>62314754Based
>>62314745Often industry specific and function specific. Some do taxes. Some do audits. Some do budgeting. Some do month end close.
>>62314687How hard is accounting? I'm a journeyman plumber and need to get out of this shit.I'm don't think I'm booksmart enough to become a CPA but I want to be the first in my family to get a degree.
>>62314836It’s super gay and full of women and literal faggots.
>>62314687Nobody here cares, accountantfag. Go spam your shit someplace else that gives a fuck.
>>62314864i like it. i make $150k and wfh.
>engineer
>>62314836Its piss easy but also you don't want to get in now because it is currently being automated out of existence like software dev.
>>62315230accounting was "automated" in the 1970s with ERPs. guess what, we still have jobs.
>>62315289Yeah man I'm sure a machine that is really good at reading excel sheets and generating reports from them is going to be exactly as impactful as whatever happened in the 1970s.Also you pretty clearly missed my point. You don't want to be a new kid going into it right now because there is very little demand for entry level. Senior guys will still exist for legal reasons.
>>62315171I do too but you have to admit it’s soulless womanly work
>>62315324yeah just like engineering is going to be automated. design equations in textbooks have been around for hundreds of years, calculus even longer. just a matter of time before AI does it all.
>>62315324>>62315356(i'm being sarcastic and i actually think you're a clueless nigger retard.)
>>62315171>>62315339I'm getting my associates in accounting two weeks from now. How do i turn this into a 100k remote job?
>>62315356AI is bleeding money; only Claude and Grok have really proven themselves to be profitable. I do believe that it could implode, billionaires investing in each other's AI, no way that's going to last. Who cares more about money than someone who has lots of it? They are absolutely obsessed with maximising returns. Then again, maybe I'm just being overly optimistic.
>>62315395You get industry experience and go for a CPA or a CA. You don't make 100k just starting out
>>62315395>100kmeaningless without knowing where you live. if you live near a city in a MCOL area, most people get there within 5 years.>remotehybrid is easy, especially entry level. fully remote is hard and are mostly reserved for people with 3-5+ years of experience and a good resume. it's also industry dependent. you'll likely never find a remote job if you work in property accounting, for example.
>>62315395Apply to mine after I get fired for jacking off and shitposting all day instead of working
>>62315534Wtf dude, get on SSRIs or some shit. That killed my drive, but then again, I still never had the desire to get out of work or school, jeez. Maybe it is a guy thing that I didn't know about
>>62314687you get paid for being an excel spreadsheet stfu bitch
