Why did I choose Accounting Technology:
I choose Accounting Technology course because my parents wanted this course for me. It is also the dream of my mother to be an accountant, so, I continued it for her. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to pass the qualifying exam for BS Accountancy that's why I resort to Accounting Technology. The subjects are the same, the difference is Accountancy has a cut off grade, while, Accounting technology has none.
About my college education:
I learned many things. I learned how to analyze and compute problems, though I'm not good at those. But eventually, I learned to love it because it caught my interest. My most favorite subject is Partnership and Corporation because there's a little computation and more on memorization. The hardest subject for me is Cost Accounting because almost all the time, we compute costs, expenses and others. It's easy to pass the exams, it's just that it doesn't suit my skills. If I have determination and passion at the start, I should have a high grades and performance. I wanted to finish the course for the sake of my future and for my mother.
My current job:
I am now an office clerk in a Cooperative in Magallanes, Agusan del Norte.
I do clerical works and basic accounting. I record, sort, file documents just like what accounting clerk does.
Am I using what I learned in college:
I did use basic Accounting skills and knowledge. Also, there are basic computations.
How long did it take to find a job:
It did not took me too long because I have a connection in that Institution, so it's easy for me to get inside it.
Do I recommend studying Accounting Technology:
There are many employments opportunity for this course. I was offered many jobs but I did not bother to entertain it because my parents already settle me in the Cooperative. The salary level is high even with the fresh graduates.
Advice to people who are thinking of studying this course:
I advice you not to take this course if they are not sure if they really want it. Be sure to take this because this is not an easy course. You will go through many problems and sleepless nights just to study and compute. If your brain is not prepared, don't bother to continue. It's more on analysis, if you can't analyze what will be your future for this course, as I said, don't continue. I may sound bad but it's an advice coming from the one who have taken it.
