I studied accounting degrees, during my studies struggled to get a part time job
Graduated at 25
I struggled to get jobs
Got accountant job at age 28, fired within 3 months
Got another accounting job at age 31 fired within 6 monh
I am 32 now no job no friends no wife
Am I doomed?
Is accounting the right career for me?
I’m trying to objectively assess whether accounting is the right career path for me.
I’ve had two graduate audit roles. In one, I worked for around six months but was not offered a permanent position. The other was a three-month contract.
I’ve also had short-term AP and AR volunteering experiences. The AP role ended after about a month, and the AR role ended after around three months.
One pattern I’ve noticed is that I can ask a lot of questions and sometimes take longer than expected to complete tasks.
I’m wondering whether these are skills I can improve with more experience and training, or whether they suggest that accounting may not be the right fit for me.
I’d appreciate honest advice from people working in accounting/audit.

I got dismissed from 2 audit grad role
Also AP and AR role
Problem is too slow, asking too many and same questions etc
I had 2 grad audit roles, i didn’t get permanent after 6 months
I had Ap role got fired within a month
AR role got removed after 3 months
Issues seem to asking too many questions and slow at work
Especially in big technical jobs
For surviving jobs
Gym
Social life
Discipline
Decision making
Laziness
Efficiency And getting things done quicker
Like i see many who did engineering but never got the job etc
Some people say degree gets you further even if it’s ARTS, is this true?
Some say it doesn’t matter, what’s the truth?
Some are unemployed with degrees, so what’s the point of degrees?
Some are doing customer service and other random jobs, weird degrees so what’s the point of degrees?
Specifically talking about BUSINESS degree
Do you think firing of public servants was the right decision?
Do you think someone has make the hard decision, regardless of backlash?
Do you think it will benefit NZ government administration in long term?
How to know what career or job I’ll like?
I done business degree in accounting and IT
I have done hospitality, security, customer service, some contract accounting job and auditing contract job
I never managed to get any job in IT
Many i didn’t like, the oneS I liked i couldn’t keep it longer
My experience in various accounting roles is 1 year
And auditing in 1 year
Customer upto 2 years
I liked auditing but i didn’t like pressure and productivity vs write off issue but doable job with travel
Accounting i didn’t like that much, and doesn’t interest me
Customer service, was it even worth doing degree for it
This days i only get interview for audit and customer service but not accounting or IT
Feels like my experience not sufficient for experienced auditor or accountant
Grads jobs are out of touch now

Budgets are often tight, but the workload is high. If you charge your actual hours, the budget gets blown and write-offs increase. If you charge fewer hours to stay within budget, your productivity suffers. How do you manage this balance?
