Some few days ago, I had a blog about the college majors that employers choose to hire this 2012. Business and accounting are on the top of the list. Unbeknownst to me and maybe to many, this forecast or study has been history a few years back. History repeats itself. Demand for certain careers are cyclical because industries as well have cycle with different stages — introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. Industries contract and expand. Some careers, however, are very cyclical. They follow the industry life cycle very fast, they are introduced and suddenly they are in declined. Some careers are non-cyclical. They have been introduced, now they are in growth and stay there for a long time. It would take a very long time before they go into maturity and decline.
In a seminar called “What is Good Career?,” Mr. Edilberto C. Ortiz, CPA emphasized beautifully that careers in accounting are good careers. Maybe you would say that he’s speaking for himself as a Certified Public Accountant. His talk some years ago was not based on personal experiences alone (although that could be one great factor). He had factual data and the reality showed that it was. CPAs earn more in a lifetime than non-CPAs. That is the reason why Mr. Ortiz urged accounting majors to push forward on the field of accounting. A very lucrative career awaits those who become Certified Public Accountants (CPAs).
Well, Mr. Ortiz himself proved true that it really is. He has an accounting firm that already hired Filipino accountants especially those who are alumni of Colegio de Dagupan. The program is made possible through the unfailing effort of Dr. Voltaire P. Arzadon, Colegio de Dagupan President. Dr. Arzadon and Mr. Ortiz partnered to give CPAs of Colegio de Dagupan an exciting career. There are already CPAs that are now based in Chicago, Illinois enjoying success and better life. In my next post, I’ll be uncovering who are those CPAs, what are their former lives, and who are they right now.
