The Regrets of An Accounting Major @zoeunlimited
Entertainment
Introduction
During my time at UCLA, I encountered an unfortunate reality: there was no degree program in marketing, a field I had always wanted to pursue. As a result, I found myself choosing to study Business Economics with a minor in Accounting. This decision ultimately led to an internship and a full-time job offer that came my way in my sophomore year.
I remember thinking how cool it was to secure a job so early in my college career. However, looking back, I realize now how important it is to explore all options before making a decision. I urge students to take the time to investigate different paths and not to settle for the first offer that comes along.
Fast forward to my graduation, and I was stepping into the role of an accountant. It was a moment of realization for me. I found myself questioning, "Is this really what I wanted?" This experience taught me a valuable lesson about the importance of exploring all opportunities and considering one’s passions before jumping into a career commitment.
