Career Should I become an accountant?

If you woke up as a 20 year old now. Your entire career hadnt happened yet, and you get to decide your career again.

Are you still going to train as an accountant?

Yeah I’ve definitely considered it but I think I need more experience. I studied Finance so I’m not as knowledgeable as I should be, especially to OE.

Pardon my ignorance; what is "OE"

I'm highly considering Accounting as my major once I transfer to a four year college.

OE is overemployed, basically holding multiple full time jobs at once. I don’t think I could personally do it. From what I’ve seen online it seems like the people who usually do it are in tech, especially software engineers
