cpa strength here back with another
video this one's gonna be about as a
[5]
counting a good career what do you think
about accounting and etc etc let's just
[11]
cut to the chase yes I think accounting
is a great career to have when I got my
[15]
job at a CPA firm the my boss CPA said
oh great you're an accountant you'll
[22]
never be out of work and I thought about
it and I'm like yeah okay I don't know
[26]
yes yeah once I got my accounting to
Gardner be out of work
[29]
I mean I've looked for jobs for a little
bit but you know so yes I think you'll
[37]
you'll have a job and in the future in
the future if you know I here's what I
[43]
think I think in the future you don't
really know I mean I think a lot of
[50]
things are going towards the internet
and and like people don't want to see
[55]
anybody like you know you order on
Amazon and stuff so maybe you can't
[60]
predict like you know okay like if you
got a if you have a blockbuster video
[66]
that's how to business right but there's
new businesses that that are taking over
[75]
now like Amazon that wasn't there before
so you don't really know possibly what
[80]
businesses are gonna be in in in our
life of five years 10 years 15 20 years
[87]
down the road
although whatever businesses are there
[92]
are gonna need an accountant so I
believe you have job stability forever
[100]
and the long range now too and just
think about do you know how many
[105]
accountants do know any accounts
personally that have an accounting
[110]
degree from a four-year four-year
university
[115]
do they have jobs are they unemployed do
they seem to have a nice lifestyle just
[122]
all I'm saying I mean you know there's
just there's different there's all kinds
[127]
of different things you can do with in
accounting with an accounting license
[131]
and I wanted to get that that off the
bat in the beginning - what I just
[139]
thought yeah it's a good career I'd say
there's there's longevity in it because
[144]
you always need one there is a lot of
things you can do with an accounting
[149]
degree alright I think number I think I
just said the number one like the number
[157]
one thing is look at other people with
an accounting degree and see how their
[161]
lifestyle is they're you know are they
employed I think that's the most
[165]
important thing like is it a good degree
to have wool I mean yeah it's fun
[170]
knowledge coming for me it's fun
knowledge to have to know debits and
[174]
credits but I mean like if I was going
to say you know a lot of people are
[180]
taking this in college right now taking
accounting in college and wondering you
[184]
know is this a good major or they're
taking they're just signing up or I
[188]
don't you know I'm just giving my two
cents because but I am totally biased
[192]
because I'm an accountant I am a CPA so
that you know if I didn't think it was
[198]
an awesome career well I would be doing
something else so I mean I need to speak
[206]
for myself but I love it now that I've
you know done for fast as I always get
[211]
ah you can't explain your video in in
two minutes yeah I know but so I felt
[224]
like I explained I explained that let's
see what's going on is accounting a good
[235]
profession yes yes it is Oh
because basically we've had the same
[242]
accounting system like this double entry
accounting system debits and credits
[246]
with assets draw withdraws expenses
liabilities equity revenues all these
[254]
things that can be debits are credits
and journal entries and balance sheets
[257]
tax return a balance sheet income
statement and that's basically the whole
[262]
world has used like basically
the same thing for 500 years the whole
[269]
world and I and I know this because I
teach basic accounting for beginners to
[276]
pretty much the whole world on YouTube
and it's changed my life and it's
[280]
amazing but I'm not even getting into
that I'm just like I said a good
[285]
profession to have to be an accountant
to say hey I'm an accountant you know
[288]
can you put food on the table yeah man
yeah you can put food on the table when
[293]
people okay you're like yeah but how
much can you make that's what everyone
[297]
always wants to do how much do you make
how much meeting me I don't know why you
[301]
want to limit yourself like that like
but but I understand where you're coming
[305]
from I understand where you're coming
from I used to be like that too I want
[308]
to make a hundred thousand a year and
I'll show everybody like okay buddy like
[313]
just do your thing but you know how
easily the thing was ever an accounting
[323]
degree I don't really think there's a
limit you know then then you could do to
[328]
be a CPA you can have your own business
I don't think I I think you're gonna be
[333]
from Darin I think my first job was 26
thousand a year or something but then
[347]
like it got twisted I got a raise then
it was like $14 an hour for a little bit
[354]
and then $16 an hour for a little bit
and then and then it was $19 for a
[363]
little bit so like I just kept on
getting raises at this place I was at it
[368]
was awesome and that was like my first
job at a CPA firm I get I kept on
[377]
getting raises I believe you know
because I was good worker but like the
[381]
last one it was like I got my CPA
license and then I think but so that's
[391]
like the $19 is like 40 grand a year so
that
[397]
it's not you know so I'd say you know
you're gonna make 26 to decide say I
[405]
started at 26 but I was up to 40 within
[410]
you know two years and then if I didn't
veer off and go to my own job I mean I
[422]
guess like her pride her probably went
to somewhere else and make fifty sixty
[426]
seven you know I don't really think
there's a limit on how much you can make
[430]
really with this accounting thing I mean
I don't know I just don't even think
[437]
like that so for me to put a top at not
it is not like even in my thing cuz I'm
[443]
like I ain't trying to ever do that to
myself anymore I don't just scare people
[448]
off with it's hard I guess I try to make
it seem like it's easy or like I don't
[453]
want to make it seem like it's easy I
just want to make it seem like if you
[457]
practice and put your mind to something
you can do anything and I think I know
[461]
it sounds cheesy but it just seems like
in this day and age you can really will
[466]
yourself to anything like you're
watching me right now that means you're
[471]
on the internet somehow I mean if you're
watching me on the internet you can do
[475]
anything else and the internet another
reason why I think that accounting is
[479]
gonna be a great field in the future
only because whatever businesses survive
[485]
they're gonna need an accountant every
business needs an accountant that's for
[491]
businesses and that's not even my
favorite thing anymore oh and I run
[495]
payroll for companies too I have once I
set everything up I have a lot of
[501]
software to do everything and but I know
the debits and credits behind it where
[508]
no one else knows it so that all this is
what I'm getting this is another thing
[512]
that I'm getting at is that you start
you start being an accountant like what
[516]
anyways I start I started having my own
business and who are my clients going to
[519]
be who are my clients going to be people
with lots of money that are doing well
[524]
for themselves and they need someone to
guide them with
[530]
tax this can be a money manager money
planner you know what should I do they
[535]
want to trust somebody you know and so
who do I spend most of my days who do I
[541]
spend most of my time with like rich
people like millionaires like I'm not
[546]
even I'm not even really kidding like
like I people make a quarter of a
[554]
million dollars a year or half a million
a year and I'm like yeah what's our dog
[558]
I mean that's just how I roll and it's
awesome so you know how it's like yo
[567]
when I when I used to be running them
streets you know I used to be hanging
[571]
out with other people that was running
in them streets and my life was getting
[575]
nowhere fast nowhere nowhere now I got
an accounting degree I start you know so
[583]
it's like who's gonna use my services is
people with a lot of money and that's
[591]
what I think is successful that's like
my scorecard you know what I'm saying
[594]
cuz I'm not doing like sports I'm not
trying to get it off the muscle anymore
[599]
you know cuz that you know I'm trying to
get off the brain so off the brain the
[603]
scorecard for me is like how much money
you have so these people are very
[608]
successful in my eyes and that's who I'm
running with now with my accounting
[614]
degree whilst I think accounting is
awesome because I think a lot more
[621]
people are getting off w-2s now alright
so I think a lot I feel a lot more
[628]
people are getting 1099 like I get I get
an ad Google Google sends me money every
[639]
month you know the but they don't take
taxes I'm not like an employee of an
[644]
independent contractor for them they
sent me a 1099 so I have to pay taxes on
[649]
my income at the end of the year what
I'm getting at is I think it's like a
[655]
gig base and I think the world economy
with the internet being what it is and
[659]
every
I think the traditional nine-to-five job
[663]
like you're like you get a w-2 you just
clock in somewhere clock out
[667]
I think that's getting I think it's
going to go lower and lower as the years
[673]
progress and the gig economy and people
getting 1099s and paying their taxes at
[678]
the end of the year it's going to be
heavily increasing in the next 10 to 20
[683]
years I I'll be it and I just and and
then when you're doing that now you're
[691]
paying self-employment tax and all the
stuff and it will and so more and more
[696]
people will need an accountant Howard is
now if you just get a w-2 and that's
[701]
what you do like you can just pretty
much take a picture of your tax return
[704]
and you don't really need an accountant
for anything like you know anyways this
[716]
