Accounting is suitable for people who are great at maths

A fair bit of work that banks don't want to do, and also retained to get a second opinion, as well as checking things. Not particularly involved at structuring or client level in most instances.

Hopefullyit's not too big a loss for them and they'll be able to get through this financial year unscathe.

if you do accounting you can learn about how businesses function etc. an awesome degree, get paid well and learn how businesses function. need to aim to be one so i can learn the ropes to run my own major property development firm one day. even if that doesnt work i can always just be a big 4...

Hahahahahaha Guess whether 2009 or 2007 was more profitable for IBD Australia.

But it's probably the same 1000 applicants applying for everywhere. If all the big firms take around 40-50 people, that's a good 200. So the chance of getting a big firm stint is around 20%. Add in the 2nd tier firms it probably goes up to 40%. Add in the small firms it's probably a good...

Is he paying you cash in hand?

Pretty hard to make a valid opinion because who knows whether you're exaggerating or whether you've seriously done something silly to warrant being grounded (eg taking drugs, getting pregnant, getting arrested by cops). If you think your father is emotionally abusing you then move out...

Hahaha I'm sure your boss would've loved to sell that additional item to pay your hourly wages.

Have quit my job twice. Just told the people in charge I didn't feel the job was a right fit for me - no wonder people say Gen Y people suck hahaha.

muhahahaha anyone can do a CFA

loll hahahahahahahahaha

Yea ABC girls are strange. I'm going to go to HK to have my kid.

No it's not. But do you love to earn money, that's the question. Everyone loves money but almost everyone is not willing to put in the hard yards to earn money.

Yea agreed with you. I think more people do law these days also because it's 'prestigious.'

Yea well $1.2m (the price that I think a $100k salary might struggle to maintain) won't get much in Toorak, so I'm not really suggesting that we should all aspire to live in Toorak. I guess a lot of it comes down to what you're willing to settle for too. Perhaps I'm setting the bar a bit...

Haha of course not. I rejected the offers from the top-tier firms and eschewed this path anyway. So just trying to help some kids, as well as validate my choices I guess. But, comedy aside, what I said are really just the facts and figures. It's up to you what you make of them.

Nah I don't quite like the Melbourne Model. A lot of graduates in many industries now have comm/law degrees and they don't go into law. A law degree is just like this extra 'something' to make you more likely to be employed in the financial sector etc. Btw I agree 100k is not poor. But I...

Well if one gloats about earning 100k+ in 10 years, might just struggle a bit with the McMansion, unless you're talking about buying in Newcastle.

Yeaaa... I feel the small firm figures are a bit misleading since the upper bound is reached by few at small practices. But I guess if you meant it looks pretty good compared to most factory workers, yea maybe.
