Now being a
students it doesn't easy you need to face the stress come from your studies and
examination or it even worst if you having BAD lecturer. But what I can tell
you is that it is way more worst when you are graduated when your lucky faded
away.
You need to
face dozens of challenges and difficulties until you get employed. And being an
accounting graduate your challenge might be:
1. Technology of accounting
No doubt that Technology
advance make our life easier but so how it also replace our roles. In
accounting industry, many accounting software and program are introduced to the
market and are mostly applied. Now days every firm are using multimedia for
recording the business transaction due to it is more efficiency, low cost and
save time. Thus, these causes some of the firm decides to cut down the number
of accountant in the business but replace them with available
accounting software with the reason that using technology products is way more
cheaper than hire an accountant.
2. Too much competition
Now days there are too much student are taking accounting major in
both diploma and degree. This is because being an accounting graduate are
easier to find a comfortable work and stable salary compare to other industry.
However, in real world, a company only need 5 to 10 of accountant in their
department and this cause the other dozens of graduates being unemployed even
with a diploma or degree certificate. Furthermore, now day even though
some graduates are having qualified certificate but they are not
"material in accounting firm" which means they just think to get paid
and work to being as accountant but does not have the real accounting knowledge.
3. What we learned in college vs what we will used in office
Now, this issue is not just
happening in accounting sector but every of them where most of the students are
still learning outdated or unpractical knowledge in the class. This cause the
graduate being categorized as unqualified because they might score well in
their exam but if it comes to real practical application they know nothing. It
may be challenging for graduates who are entering the work force because they
need to learn again by themselves about what really apply in the real
accounting world sometimes, even they willing to learn but unfortunately not
all the seniors can be a good "teacher " for them, well some might be
generous to share what they know but some are so selfish that they rather to
keep all the knowledge themselves.
