Lol you all bet on the wrong horse man.

10-15 years ago, accounting looked safe and somewhat prestigious field for medium-flyer students. With the promise of a first job in a shiny big corporate brand name like EY, Deloitte, PwC, how can one go wrong by choosing it?

But the writing was always on the wall with race to the bottom fee undercutting and lowering of standards by importing third worlders.

Industry always moves faster than education. Audit and other accounting jobs were losing prestige faster than what was reflected in uni IGP scores and selectiveness. There's a time lag.

That's why all the good A Level scorers who selected accounting thinking it will translate to the prestige they 'deserve' when they enter the job market, were so shell-shocked when they find out that it's pure dogswork done by Malaysians or capable of being outsourced to other poorer countries. Hence, all bitter and jaded.
