0:00
all right good afternoon what's your
0:01
name and Department Esther Odo
0:04
accounting department okay nice to meet
0:06
you Esther and you my name is cha praise
0:09
I'm in accountancy dis apartment also
0:11
okay okay so what is accountancy as a CA
0:14
in University um it's it's something
0:17
very cute it's something very normal
0:20
it's something everybody aspires to want
0:22
to become in life because accountancy as
0:24
a course it enhances more of your
0:28
educational wisdom about being money
0:31
conscious I feel okay yeah so that's all
0:34
I know about that okay all right Esther
0:36
why did you decide to study
0:38
accountancy I love the course and want
0:41
to become a chattered accountant okay
0:44
okay so apart from uh shatter accountant
0:48
what what what does it mean what does it
0:50
mean to become a sh accountant yes like
0:54
I don't know how to explain it but to
0:55
become a CH accountant you might be
0:57
working you can have work at different
0:59
places company Bank personal
1:02
organization and the rest of them you
1:04
just keep record of their deal sales
1:08
sales for the year and every other
1:10
things okay okay okay so how how how
1:13
demanding is this course does it allow
1:16
you to like engage in other activities
1:17
like side oo or it's something that you
1:21
fully engrossed in your studies um it's
1:26
it allows you engage in other stuff
1:28
because like as an accountancy students
1:31
you can do other things you understand
1:33
it does not mean you must be focused on
1:36
on your studies every every single time
1:38
once you have the knowledge about the
1:40
course I feel it should be a very easy
1:42
one out of that cuz accountancy is a
1:44
very easy course depending on the
1:47
person's knowledge so if you are
1:49
knowledgeable you understand okay so
1:51
does does it cause does it involve um
1:55
calculations yes lot of calculations
1:59
Okay so let's say an average student
2:01
from secondary school that does not
2:03
really have a let me say a very strong
2:05
foundation in mathematics is it possible
2:08
to cope in this course yes because the
2:10
calculation is not that deep okay it's
2:13
just about balance sheeting preparing of
2:16
Jonah cash book and the rest so it's not
2:18
that de and is like easy to understand
2:21
okay mhm okay okay so this is a four
2:25
years course right yeah it is is there
2:27
like any point where you guys go for
2:29
like it like any practical experience no
2:32
we don't go for it in accountancy
2:34
Department I don't know about that
2:35
department but we don't go for it in our
2:38
department because there we have ion so
2:41
it's not M do ion when you are in school
2:43
you can do it when you done or you can
2:44
do it before even entering school but we
2:46
don't go for it okay that that's I can
2:49
why why would a student want to do I can
2:52
it's just it's not a must that you must
2:54
be an accounting student before doing I
2:55
ion is for everybody just to improve
2:57
your knowledge and a lot of things they
2:59
have a lot of branches in I so it's not
3:02
compulsory to be it must be an
3:04
accounting student okay okay so uh what
3:07
would you say has been like the most
3:09
challenging uh level or let me say cost
3:12
like so far to now you're in final year
3:16
um the challenging level I don't think
3:20
maybe 300 level and the cost all the
3:24
cses I don't know but all the CES are
3:27
like a bit difficult there no like time
3:30
you don't have time for yourself every
3:31
day you're rushing to school like that
3:34
okay talking about time and rushing how
3:36
would you describe the typical deal of
3:41
students um the main issue at first is
3:45
your department that way like trying to
3:48
combine outfits that is a very very
3:51
difficult thing to do you understand so
3:53
departmental way and the rest but the
3:57
other things it's okay because most
3:59
lecturer you must dress corporate before
4:02
entering their class you can't just come
4:04
anyhow so at times if you're having that
4:06
kind of course you'll be like what CL am
4:08
I going to wear all those type of thing
4:09
what outfit is going to make me look
4:12
very corporate and so that I'll be able
4:14
to enter this person's class you
4:16
understand so that's just the little
4:18
little challenges we have like when it
4:20
was your class starts like is it from
4:22
morning to evening um when we were like
4:25
a one it is not it was not this stretchy
4:28
in like we in Final now at least then in
4:31
year one we start by 9 and at times End
4:33
by 12 and all that thing but now 9 to 3
4:36
9 to 3 back to back they are not even
4:38
giving us a resting day apart from that
4:39
Monday I sit at home so 9 to3 9 to3 9
4:42
to3 apart from sometimes Fridays you
4:45
understand we don't have classes
4:46
sometimes on Friday okay okay that's all
4:49
okay okay so is it really possible like
4:50
to combine this course accountancy with
4:53
let's say side also like a business as a
4:55
student it's very like possible when you
4:58
doing onl business because you just come
5:01
online post your business you can still
5:03
be in class when you have spare time you
5:06
can still attend to your business that
5:07
is just it and if you have allers you
5:10
can still go back and give the person
5:12
time for delivery and the rest of them
5:14
so you can okay so have you yourself you
5:16
yourself have you been able to like do
5:18
something like that yes because I sell
5:21
perfumes online and I also come to
5:24
school too so yes and it has not
5:26
affected you academically no it has not
5:29
wow that is that that is awesome so the
5:31
last question is what advice do you have
5:33
for someone that want to study
5:35
University all right the advice I have
5:37
for anyone that want to study
5:39
accountancy is just just come to school
5:43
just be yourself you understand there's
5:44
nothing hard there just come be yourself
5:48
and have a lot of money cuz Hey Jesus if
5:51
you don't have money or more what are
5:54
you using money for if you don't have
5:56
money in this department no more you go
5:58
suffer because you buy textbooks and we
6:01
don't we barely use PDF you understand
6:04
we are more on textbooks most lecturers
6:06
barely use PDF so if you are using
6:09
texbook you have to be buying it because
6:12
are these expensive textbooks yes they
6:14
are quite expensive they are quite
6:16
expensive okay so uh generally apart
6:19
from being an accountant are there any
6:21
other opportunities for graduates of
6:23
this course yeah there lot of
6:25
opportunities now you can do anything
6:27
you want to do like studing is it's just
6:30
like something that is General because a
6:32
lot of you can see work anywhere you can
6:34
be a teacher like you can school you can
6:37
you can work in a school you can work in
6:40
company Bank anywhere you want to work
6:42
so this is a viral or an all around
6:46
course any they have accounting yeah any
6:49
um any firm that there's accounting even
6:51
if he in in the school Hospital yes you
6:54

6:57
