stem student planning to take accountancy as 2nd choice, is it still possible?
hello pooo! i’m currently a grade 12 stem student, and i’m planning po na gawing 2nd choice yung accountancy. dream course ko po talaga ang accountancy, pero nahila ako ng mga friends ko sa stem because they said na mas maraming opportunities daw, since stem napo ako, bs statistics yung current plan ko kasi i also like stats naman, pero until now pinag iisipan ko pa rin if i should pursue accountancy. (ayoko sya maging totga huhu)
ang worry ko po is wala akong masyadong background sa accounting since stem ako, so medyo nakakatakot isipin kung kaya ko bang makipagsabayan sa mga abm grad students, especially sa qualifying exams and retention reqs. planning ko rin po sana mag aral sa state university, pero i’ve heard na may ibang schools na mas priority or may advantage ang abm graduates when applying for accountancy.
so i also want to ask, does the school really matter that much in accountancy, especially when it comes to cpale performance and opportunities after graduation? and lastly, do you think kayang kaya naman ng isang stem student makipagsabayan sa abm students sa accountancy, kahit starting from almost zero yung accounting background? i’m really scared po kasi baka mahirapan ako at mapressure sa qualifying exams, pero accountancy has always been my dream course :(
any advice or experiences would really help po, tyia
