    Absolutely love this , you really stated the hush truths about this journey . Gone are the days where information is sugar coated. Those who aspire can make informed decisions .

      I’m glad you loved it. Social media has made it easier to transfer information and spread awareness unlike then when information was geared only towards the narrative that they wanted us to know. ❤️

    So true, people think CAs earn a lot and it’s not always that much.
    The small portion of work topics that you’re allocated was the biggest shocker for me.

      Yeah CAs do earn better than the average person its just that over time we realise that it’s not as much. 😂the work allocation is just something else, it makes you question the whole system and the struggle we had to go through just to do work that’s a no brainer

    I didnt do too well in matric. Ive tried unisa so that i can apply for HC forst then the degree but because of space, they take limited amount of people.

      Do you mean in university when selecting the course? Where I did it the course was called Bcom Accounting Sciences and one of the modules includes financial accounting. Also even if you didn’t do accounting in high school as long as you have a good score and pure maths, you can be accepted into the course

    hi
    what was the work hours during articles

    • @xireninsights
      @xireninsights  8 месяцев назад +1

      I worked normal hours besides when it was year end and half year end. But it depends on the company you end up working for, some companies are chilled while some are hectic. But in audit firms hours tend to be longer.

      Thank you 🙏 You need to do 3 things (Research, publish videos as often as you can, even daily if you want faster results, and be patient.
      1. Study what other channels in your niche are doing (their topics, thumbnails, how they title) Also find out the topics people are searching for which are underserved and do those videos.
      2. Post the right content often and views will pick up.
      3. Some topics will be promoted same day by the algorithm while other topics can even take 2 months before their promoted. Just like the video you commented on, I posted it late last year but RUclips is only promoting it to more people now.
      You can also join my Facebook group “Making a fulltime income on RUclips” or even access my course, some of the chapters are free.

      @xireninsights  2 месяца назад +2

      I did my high school in two schools. Gr 8-10 in a private school and my grades were not as great maybe around C (60%). In grade 11 I Moved to a public school close to home and became a top performer getting above 80% in most subjects besides maths which I passed with around 60%.

      @@KobeMokgobu-us3db You definitely can… don’t write yourself off. As long as you put in the hard and be willing to learn and adopt different learning style, your grade is irrelevant. Great grades are good at securing bursaries though.
