回复: 女孩留学,目标移民。迷茫中。。。
女孩子学会计还是不错的。前提是她自己要喜欢,有passion,并且能够坚持下去。本人十几年前在加拿大做留学生,之后海龟回国,现在又回流加拿大。我不说大的就业数据,只说我身边认识的人,只要是专业水平差不多的,语言还可以的,就业心态比较平和的,都能幸福的混口饭吃。
就会计专业而言,如果家庭经济条件允许,就送到这边来上,边上可以边找一些打工的机会,增加社会经验,对以后就业有帮助;另外一种选择就是先在国内读个经济类本科,比如经济学什么的(个人经验别在国内读会计),然后申请会计硕士master of accounting。
对于会计这个职业而言,除了degree,更重要的是职业协会认证,比如加拿大CA,美国AICPA。本人更倾向美国AICPA,考试限制少(不要求公民或居民),考程短18个月内完成,并且在世界范围内广泛认可。如果将来可以顺利移民入籍之后去美国工作,AICPA也更好一些。
至于读完书是不是就能移民留下来,其实很难说,建议也不要太强求给孩子太大压力。她能踏踏实实学好一门安身立命的本事,未来应该都会不错的。
I have my education and experience in accounting and law and thus I guess I can share with you my humble opinion:
1) AICPA is not a statutory professional body in Canada.
2) Issues related to accounting industry:
-2a: severe competition
-2b: endless continuing education
-2c: supply of accountants is almost unlimited
-2d: one needs some years of slavery before being admitted into an accounting body
3) A member of CICA/CGA is almost limited to employment, unless he/she becomes a self practitioner in tax or in audit. However:
- 3a: da ya know how much an accountant charges to fill out a tax return?
- 3b: da ya know how much audit fee an accountant can charge a local company (a local accountant has no chance to audit any large company)?
- 3c: da ya know how much an accountant can make in employment comparing with another profession such as engineering?
4) MAcc degree without professional designation is useless.
5) Based on my personal experience, if one needs 一门安身立命的本事, one shall not major in accountancy.
