Martin's Finance and Accounting Presentation

26/04/10

Today Martin gave us a presentation on the educational steps that you need to take to become an accountant. Martin explained what you need to do in order to come an accomplished accountant. There are many educational steps that need to be taken and it can take up to 10 years acheive a Doctoral degree which is the highest degree needed to become an accountant. He told us that we would need to complete our current course which is a level three in education and then follow that by going to university and completing different degrees. He told us that it was hard work and if we were serious about doing it then we should go for it as it would be good for us in the future. If we sacrifice time now it would be good for us and help us in our future careers.

I appreiciated what Martin said and would consider taking these steps in education that he told us. I would prefer to take these steps in a subject like marketing but would not cancel out accounting, as I do like working out some of the numbers, and creating the graphs.

I think that doing all you can to get the career you want is essential and if you are serious and sure of your career path then there should be nothing stood in your way when you are trying to reach your goals. Seeing the handout given to us by Martin was useful because you can see the different levels of degree that need to be completed to be fully accomplished in what you want to do.
