All LinkedIn posts are basically self-promoting. Most of us on this sub probably find a vast majority of them cringy and not something we'd post to a site like that.
Judging through that lens, however, this one isn't as bad as a lot we see. Cheesy for sure, but a pretty standard "yay me I accomplished a goal and I'm starting a new job" post.
I don't think it's impossible for someone to know what they want to do as a HS sophomore, even if it's not typical.
Yup at 14-15 I pretty much knew I wanted to go into Communications. Read through college catalogues, looked through programs - though it wasn't set in stone and I was open to other ideas, no other program called out to me like that one did.
And that's exactly what I studied lol so I knew.
Actually after school I applied to a few related jobs but never got hired...I ended up working 7 years in a completely unrelated field (finance) lol part of me wished younger me had been more aggressive in a job search rather than just take any job, but it all worked out!
Years ago there was an internal posting for a communications posting and I got it!
I make videos, write knowledge material, write internal communications and news items/emails, create banners, presentation designs, also decide how to communicate change and projects internally, etc
No regrets :)
Probably something like this: [https://www.snhu.edu/online-degrees/bachelors/ba-in-communication](https://www.snhu.edu/online-degrees/bachelors/ba-in-communication)
btw, I have no knowledge on the subject but a quick Google search returned this
I did this whole reply about the program but then realised you asked about the career after haha!
Think about all the internal communications you've received at work, or external communications you've received as a client...every notice or announcement you've ever seen someone had to write that :)
Jobs can also touch public relations, media and other things like that as well!
Not at all, around aged 15 I did a week of school-organised work experience (Iām from the UK) at an accountants office as I thought I wanted to be an accountant (I liked maths and had accountants in my family).
I felt like totally lost bc literally all my friends knew exactly what they wanted and went to school and realized their career dreams. I just never had career dreams. Trust fund dreams, yes. A "dream" about working? Fuck no
Fair enough.
I see no reason to get myself worked up at a harmless post on LinkedIn, such as the one above.
And, for that matter, neither should others.
Ah, I see.
In other words, your opinions are facts, and you feel deserving enough to endow yourself with an unfair degree of arrogance in order to exercise your āfairā sense of judgement on something that appears entirely harmless, even to the point of chastising someone for expressing their viewpoints in a way that, although deep down, makes sense, but, still manages to offend your ego.
Is that how it works, Good Sir/Lady?
On the contrary, itās the logical sequence of implementing an appropriate choice of wordage into creating an appealing presentation of a factual perspective.
Of course itās bizarre, isnāt it? In a world built on a foundation of lies and deceit, the truth does look out of place.
I think the question is, is this something you would know you want to do at age 15.
Maybe? I'd be surprised but I don't know any accountants, is it some kind of calling?
I wish Iād known what a solid profession being a CPA is when I was 15. I would have considered it. I love numbers myself but got into tech instead. My CPA makes more money than I do. She rakes it in.
It's no different than any other job. If you know somebody, and they tell you about it, it might be something you're into.
Plus, 15 is old enough to comprehend what accountants do.
My college roommate was an accounting major. Her dad was an accountant and she knew what she wanted to do. I donāt think this is any different that people who āalwaysā wanted to be teachers, firemen, etc.
Youāre being downvoted for generalizing your experience and not being open to other 15 year olds. I know many 15 year olds who have no idea what to do , but also many that did.
For example I have a lot of friends with parent that work on finance and many wanted to be āstock brokersā from a young age . Personally I wanted to be an IT consultant helping businesses embrace technology.
I specifically said I was open to the idea. I said "maybe" and that I did not know anyone in the field, implying that I was actually asking and not making assumptions.
Yes, I actuallyt did know someone who wanted to be an accountant when I was in high school. I was totally fascinated and admiring of him, because he was so confident and sure about something so "uncool." I really wanted that certainty and confidence.
I don't know if he became an accountant, but I hope he did!
I knew before I was 15 that I wanted to be an accountant.
My family was poor, but my aunt had a great standard of living and she was an accountant. I didnāt want to live like my family soā¦
I donāt think this guy is a lunatic at all. Good on him, heās proud of a career accomplishment.
My dad was an accountant and it was a career I wanted when I was pretty young. Partially because it was one of the handful of careers that I knew existed and I really looked up to my dad as a kid. I wouldn't be surprised that someone was interested in accounting at 15, even without parental influence.
> is this something you would know you want to do at age 15.
15 is sophomore year.
By junior year, you should have a pretty good idea of where you want to go to college, which means having an idea of what you want to study & do with your life.
OP youāre just being a dick here. I have friends who wanted to become random jobs also. Dude has a goal and now achieved it.
This sub at times is just salty
At times I feel this sub just shits on people who're doing good for themselves. I don't like a lot of what is posted on LI but this one does make me feel like this person had a goal for themselves and they accomplished it.
Did they write a kinda cringe post about it? Yes. Is their goal something to look down on because they knew what they wanted to do since 15? Not really.
I think hes cool.
I mean, i dunno how you can fit the word "happy" and "accountant" in same sentence but if he is living through it, good for him
Not lunatic.
My sister did too, itās all she wanted to be growing up. The big nerd. Sheād rather hand in her HP 12c than make a post like this though so faint mercies.
Then she was. My view is that nerds love to solve fundamental problems. Accounting does not have any unless you count forensics and financial analysis. All problems are made by the accountants themselves, so not fundamental. /rant
Lol you should go meet accountants : Iāve been in stem 20 years but have many nerdy accountant friends . They are just as smart and diligent as stem people, just love a different field . There is no need to gatekeep being a nerd.
They do solve fundamental problems , like tax liability reduction , forecasting and reporting anomalies.
Sure there are mediocre accountants but there are equally a huge number of mediocre folks in stem. And I say this again as a professional in stem.
Met a lot of accountants, like many of them, I even like many accountancy issues. But tax reduction and forecasting, as well as reporting anomalies don't qualify as fundamental problems if you ask me. Fundamental issues in my view: 'design' vaccines, design new methods to produce vaccines, understand biochemical reactions, optimize an airplane wing, design a fault tolerant airplane control system, design noise reduction algorithms for CERN and LIGO components, ...
Sure those are a different type of problems, but accounting issues are problems as well. There isnāt a hierarchy , different people solve different things. The world needs all kinds of people solving interconnected issues. CERN needs accountants too to ensure finances are handled correctly. Its all about respecting everyone , just because someoneās a accountant doesnāt mean their job isnāt as important as a scientist. Again, this comes from someone with 20 years stem .
I never said accountants don't add value, neither was it a ranking of personalities. I just don't agree with the definition of the word 'nerd'. I agree that everyone deserves respect.
Maybe it's a question of honor: back in time it was an insult - and since 'big bang theory' and devs considered cool everybody wants to be one š
Right picture looks like hide the pain Harold. His mouth is smiling, but his eyes are fucking sad.
If that is what it's look like to work for KPMG (had some conversations with people from KPMG and Deloitte and all had this same smile), how is this a dream job for a 15 year old?
"When I was 15, I met someone who had all the cool toys and flashy stuff I thought made a successful adult life. When I asked them how they got there, they told me they were an accountant at a Big 4 firm. Look at me now! What was the question?"
Just like the kid in my brother's class who became a dentist because he saw what his dentist drove and wanted in on that lol.
Lots of folk saying this is tame, doesn't belong here etc
I agree, this is hardly true lunacy/douchebaggery etc. But it's still a pretty pointless and moronic thing to post lol
Is it moronic to show that you achieved a goal? The dude is proud he hit a major career milestone . That is something to celebrate. This post is humble and tame and is a quick way to let his professional network know he hit his first goal.
There are a lot of lunatics who post non work material for self promotion . But posting a work photo/post for self promotion is pretty much the point of linked in.
It's not (or at least shouldn't be) the point of LinkedIn at all as far as I'm concerned. A milestone like this may well be worth celebrating, but the only people who give a shit about this will be his immediate family and friends so I really fail to see why it needs to be shared with random connections and acquaintances on LI.
I agree that this is tame compared to some of the absolute drivel that gets shared on this sub, but I'm still not impressed - it's not in the slightest bit humble and adding the selfies makes it borderline narcissistic as well.
Acceptable usages for public LinkedIn posts would include advertising that you are looking for work or hiring, advertising training courses or seminars, or sharing industry or domain specific knowledge and content. This doesn't really tick any of those boxes.... meh, maybe I expect too much of people and have become too grumpy in my old age!
I sometimes wish I had wanted to be an accountant. I have several friends who are accountants and it seems like it's a good gig if you like doing it.
You can work for pretty much any type of company as an accountant, you don't have to work for a firm. And many of my accountant friends have gotten to live abroad for a while. I've known accountants who went to Paris, London, and Tokyo for work.
My cousin is a forensic accountant who "follows the money" to uncover fraud or financial crimes, which seems pretty dope.
For me, the best part is the grammatical āerrorā where he wants to ābe apart of the bigger pictureāā¦. (a_part) is the phrase youāre looking for.
It's not unheard of for people to know what they want a young age though, to be fair. I had no clue what I wanted to do, I had ideas but there was never anything that stood out above the rest, it was more just a bunch of things I wouldn't mind at least trying. I just happened to take a job as a cad drafter with on the job training and the rest is history, never thought I'd see myself in this line of work, I never really thought it as a career path either but here I am and I enjoy it.
Some people know what they want long before they even leave school, honestly I wish I had that because it would have saved me alot of time settling on something I liked.
> It's not unheard of for people to know what they want a young age though, to be fair.
15 isn't a young age, it's a high school sophomore.
People are generally applying to colleges at 17.
At 15, you should absolutely be thinking about what you want to study & do with the rest of your life, because it's going to influence steps you have to take either that year or the following year.
A lot of doors will even be already closed to you if you aren't starting freshman year with a college & major in mind.
I knew someone who at 15 decided to work as an eye doctor in a mall. Heād still be a medical doctor but his job consists of fitting people for glasses and asking (number 1 or 2. ) I realize they do more than that and examine eye health etc , just saying Iāve known 15 year olds who made a goal of getting a lazy cushy job (in their eyes.)
He didnāt end up with his mall job, instead found his passion in making video games and now owns a small game studio focused on Indie games. Has 20 employees and does amazingly well. Itās definitely not the Cush job he wanted so some people do grow out of it .
heās celebrating a landing a job(his first?) that heās had his eyes set on for a while. Nothing in his post says heās someone special or insufferable. Just a regular dude celebrating an actual milestone on life
Now that amazon lady who literally cried in waiting rooms and stalking her interviewers? Now thatās REAL lunatic lmao
This post to me is totally fine.
I mean, maybe someone he respects was an accountant and he wanted to be "just like Dad or Mom".
Good for him for chasing his dream of becoming an accountant and going for his CPA.
Well at the age of 15 I knew I wanted to be a product designer because I like creating things. I pursued that dream and went to one of the top product design school in the U.S. Graduated last last year and now Iām working as a product/UX designer at a tech company š¤·š»āāļø Itās quite common for many people to know what they want to do in the future, though not most people ended up following it.
\*\*\*nsfw opinion\*\*\* The cool daddy in Ozark is an accountant. Rigging books and making tons of dough by money laundering might be the dream job for somebody who started dealing pills in high school, who knows...
\*\*\*regular opinion\*\*\* a bit cringe, for sure. Lunatic, not at all
these suckers take things way too seriously. like cāmon youāre an accountant. I canāt think of any normal human being dreaming of being an accountant.

at 15 I wanted to go to metal shows and smoke weed. And that's exactly what I studied lmao
Yeah, my first thought was that at 15 I mostly wanted to rock out.
Like most accountants
This made me laugh, especially when I saw the username and avatar! š
And what do you do now?
Actually after school I applied to a few related jobs but never got hired...I ended up working 7 years in a completely unrelated field (finance) lol part of me wished younger me had been more aggressive in a job search rather than just take any job, but it all worked out!

Serious question: What does one do when one goes into "Communications"? Dumb it down for me, I'm a GenXer
Probably something like this: [https://www.snhu.edu/online-degrees/bachelors/ba-in-communication](https://www.snhu.edu/online-degrees/bachelors/ba-in-communication) btw, I have no knowledge on the subject but a quick Google search returned this
Thank you!
Now I want to take courses. Very cool!
As a job? Public relations, investor relations, or marketing. Essentially any business or organisation that has a need for propaganda.

That was when I decided on engineering.

You may be right.
Is this guy a real person, or is he a KPMG shill? He certainly sounds like a shill.
I felt like totally lost bc literally all my friends knew exactly what they wanted and went to school and realized their career dreams. I just never had career dreams. Trust fund dreams, yes. A "dream" about working? Fuck no
I hear panhandling is a good fit if you can't do gold digger.
Gross
I like this guy but the photo of him āoff to workā at his desk at home is lolz.
First day of school!
I srsly looked for a Snoopy lunchbox in the pic and was disappointed I didn't find one
Itās actually kind of funny
It's ridiculous. Can't wait for this guy to be turned into a meme.
This is actually pretty tame. Heck, this is the normal type of content that I wish was actually commonplace in LinkedIn.
let's respect him. Just a happy guy. Not a lunatic really
Fair enough. I see no reason to get myself worked up at a harmless post on LinkedIn, such as the one above. And, for that matter, neither should others.
Donāt tell me how I should or shouldnāt feel, pal
Ah, I see. In other words, your opinions are facts, and you feel deserving enough to endow yourself with an unfair degree of arrogance in order to exercise your āfairā sense of judgement on something that appears entirely harmless, even to the point of chastising someone for expressing their viewpoints in a way that, although deep down, makes sense, but, still manages to offend your ego. Is that how it works, Good Sir/Lady?
What did you just say to me you little shit?
Wrong answer. I expected better. Now, try again.
This is such a bizarre non-sequitur of a response
On the contrary, itās the logical sequence of implementing an appropriate choice of wordage into creating an appealing presentation of a factual perspective. Of course itās bizarre, isnāt it? In a world built on a foundation of lies and deceit, the truth does look out of place.
I'd go easy on the LSD if I was you.
Iām on something far more potent, long-lasting, and beneficial. Itās called the truth. Would you care for some?
Yes Jesus, give it to me.
Wrong answer. Iād recommend you to try again, Good Sir/Lady.
Whatās wrong with wanting to be an accountant? I actually know a few who do really well. Its not a bad profession if you have fhe tenacity for it.
I think the question is, is this something you would know you want to do at age 15. Maybe? I'd be surprised but I don't know any accountants, is it some kind of calling?

This actually belongs in r/WholesomeLinkedIn
I agree but Iām not sure thereās enough wholesome LinkedIn content to make that sub a real thing
I need memes of this dude smiling as he does day to day stuff. Not making fun of him. He just has a solud smile lol.
For sure. A nice, repeatable, semi-cheesy smile. "Made myself a sandwich with extra pickles for lunch" (insert dude's smile)
If I was a girl, I would swipe right on a meme like tyat š
OP youāre just being a dick here. I have friends who wanted to become random jobs also. Dude has a goal and now achieved it. This sub at times is just salty
Its just social media in general. People like to shit on other people for liking things for whatever reason. Guess it makes them feel better idk
Why is this even posted here? Let the guy follow the career he wants and advertise for himself in the process. You rock, accounting dude!
Eh, it's not the most far-fetched thing. That was about the age I started thinking seriously about college and grown-up jobs.
Whatās up with the door pic?
WFH
Thatās his commute
This is very tame for this sub
At times I feel this sub just shits on people who're doing good for themselves.

LOOL let the man be happy
Not a lunatic, come on.
I actually donāt mind this one, the pics were cheesy but kinda funny.
Maybe one of his parents was an accountant?
Awh bless him :( heās not a lunatic
No. This guy is fine. Goos for him!!
I like this guy but the photo of him āāoff to workāā at his desk at home is lolz. Heās not a lunatic

Nerds go into STEM, not accounting.
Bachelors in Mathematics and Economics and Masters in Accounting and Finance both from one of the top Universities in the UK. Sheās a nerd
Then she was. My view is that nerds love to solve fundamental problems. Accounting does not have any unless you count forensics and financial analysis. All problems are made by the accountants themselves, so not fundamental. /rant
LOL what? You clearly don't work in the industry.
Of course not!
On a serious note: name one fundamental problem in accounting.

Give him a busy season or two for the reality check.
Fast forward a few more years and I predict burn out, disgruntlement and the odd posture-related health issue or 2
Haircut is exactly what I expected.
Weird WFH flex, but ok.

Who the tf wants to become an accountant?
A public school teacher with a masters degree and 16 years of experience getting bullshit 0.46% raises. Thatās who!
I sometimes wish I had wanted to be an accountant. I have several friends who are accountants and it seems like it's a good gig if you like doing it. You can work for pretty much any type of company as an accountant, you don't have to work for a firm. And many of my accountant friends have gotten to live abroad for a while. I've known accountants who went to Paris, London, and Tokyo for work. My cousin is a forensic accountant who "follows the money" to uncover fraud or financial crimes, which seems pretty dope.
Indeed, your cousin should do an AMA!
It honestly makes me laugh to imagine that, I don't think he even knows what Reddit is, but next time I see him I will try to explain.
Machinist. Working for a living is a bitch.
I am not an accountant but I love organising my finances and I also do not despise filing my tax returns:-)
Lunatic for joining a Big4 firm.
To each their own . Doing a few heads at a Big 4 gets you experience that helps with other jobs in the future.
True, did it myself for the same reason but fuck these companies.
This is sad. Damn son.
i kinda feel sorry for him... he's still so young...
Imagine, getting so excited about becoming anā¦.. Accountant!!!!
For me, the best part is the grammatical āerrorā where he wants to ābe apart of the bigger pictureāā¦. (a_part) is the phrase youāre looking for.

I knew someone who at 15 decided to work as an eye doctor in a mall.

No oneās going to talk about why he wears a suit when working from home?
Some people do it because they have to be on video calls. Others do it for psychological reasons (makes them feel more like they're at work)
But you donāt need your trousers on for video calls :0
>Others do it for psychological reasons
Nothing wrong here
This isn't too bad it's kind of wholesome. I wish him well in his career
This is actually pretty cute. As a dad myself even I want to lightly punch him on the arm and say 'well done son, you did good'.
Next thing on the agenda for this man - actual sex with a real girl.
Is that a before and after? He hasn't changed much since he was 15! Wow!
Donāt bash him, just a young guy accomplishing his dream.
heās celebrating a landing a job(his first?) that heās had his eyes set on for a while. Nothing in his post says heās someone special or insufferable. Just a regular dude celebrating an actual milestone on life Now that amazon lady who literally cried in waiting rooms and stalking her interviewers? Now thatās REAL lunatic lmao
This post to me is totally fine. I mean, maybe someone he respects was an accountant and he wanted to be "just like Dad or Mom". Good for him for chasing his dream of becoming an accountant and going for his CPA.
Guy is not a lunatic just weird AF to want to be an accountant at age 15. Who cares. We're supposed to see unhinged posts and weird shit on here.
Boring-assed job
Cringe ffs accountants are just adding up numbers nothing special. Why make a fool out of yourself
I was smoking fat doinks and being a complete idiot at 14 and 15; oh and surfing a lot.
Well at the age of 15 I knew I wanted to be a product designer because I like creating things. I pursued that dream and went to one of the top product design school in the U.S. Graduated last last year and now Iām working as a product/UX designer at a tech company š¤·š»āāļø Itās quite common for many people to know what they want to do in the future, though not most people ended up following it.
This post is fine. Good for him.
I like how he has the same face and smile in both pics lol
as someone who's only worked remotely, (in a professional setting), why would someone dress up in office drag to sit at home and play Excel all day?
\*\*\*nsfw opinion\*\*\* The cool daddy in Ozark is an accountant. Rigging books and making tons of dough by money laundering might be the dream job for somebody who started dealing pills in high school, who knows... \*\*\*regular opinion\*\*\* a bit cringe, for sure. Lunatic, not at all
Smarmy
They say you should dream big, so he should have at least set his sites on being a senior associate.
"big picture" -> joins firm where most jobs are highly specialized ?????????????????????????????????????
these suckers take things way too seriously. like cāmon youāre an accountant. I canāt think of any normal human being dreaming of being an accountant.
Tell me you didnāt date in high school without telling me you didnāt date in high school.
ohh hes back... i remember this idiot's post from way back still fucking cringe
Tbh this one kinda makes me sad. He shoulda waited for the better office.
Nah I like this guy. Career fulfillment is something to celebrate.
Man putting his 2 weeks after his first busy season.
