First Accounting Club Meeting

When attending my first accounting club meeting, there were a couple of guest speaker that came from Minneapolis to talk about what they do as a public accountant. I was excited to hear about their hands on experience and seeing where they started and where they are now. 

As the meeting started, we had a list of questions for each speaker to answer one by one. I like how I was able to see how each of them had a similar yet different background from starting college to starting their careers after graduating. They talked about programs that helped them study for the CPA (Certified Public Accountants) exam and how they had different study habits based on their schedules. They also mentioned that most employers will help with the cost of covering the programs to take your CPA exam as they can be very expensive. 

Also, in the way they spoke, it was reassuring that the feeling of being lost right now was okay and that we will soon, in our own pace, would figure out what exactly we would want to do with our degree whether it's furthering our education in accounting or going straight into our careers.
