The reality of being an accounting major

Transcript

I hate to break it to you but if you're in an accounting major, college is like the regular season. And once you graduate and get to the CPA exams, that's like playoffs. It sucks when you graduate and people are asking you, yo, are you excited? You don't have to study anymore and there's no more tests. Meanwhile, in the back of your mind, you're just thinking about those four exams and hundreds of hours of studying. It sucks, but it's worth it.
