Hello /biz/ I'm a 20 year old in Ontario, Canada. I've

advice from someone who did sci/com(math/finance) is go into computer science. look to the future if you want to ball hard. it probably wont be finance by the time you get out./

i would give away my commerce degree for a pack of cigarettes. future is things like computers, robotics, AI.

Forget accounting. waste of your time

How is it a waste? Won't people always need accountant

Looking 10-20yrs in the future I dont see how it wont be replaced by automation. There is nothing complex about it. Nothing creative. You are just following the accounting standards.

If you are a smart guy then you should focus on things that can add value to a company/idea.

Accounting and admin add NO value to a business. You want to go down a path where you can add value

You'll get training to be a financial planner but a university degree gives you more options/chances of a higher position.

Don't expect IB or those 6 figure salaries, probably work at BMO or TD as one of those FP at most without any other certificates or extra education

???? what planet do you live on ????

have you literally 0 experience in this field?

>>1283906
you dont know what your talking about.

financial planner? wat?

financial planning is a scam. scenario 1 is portfolio increases(im a genius). scenario 2 is it didnt work out great(markets are tough at the moment).

its a sales job targeting people who dont know what the fuck they are doing. no finance knowledge necessary

you should make double that first year out of college if youve done the right degree. read- you have skills people want. accounting is not a skill

>>1283918

>>1283923

Banking industry is going to shed half its workforce with self serve and automation. Hope you got other plans just in case.

Tax maybe, bookkeeping yes of course, but auditing won't be replaced anytime soon.

Did you do your CS degree right after getting an admin degree? Why?
