How Can An Accountant's Career Half-Life Be Saved?

Have you ever heard of the half-life of a profession? In physics, the half life of a radioisotope is the time required for the decay of radioactive atoms to half of the original number in a sample.

The shorter the half-life is, the more unstable the atom is. This indicates that the probability of decay of the atom is higher.

Similarly, every industry has half-life, which is different from the natural half-life of radioisotopes. The half-life of a person is not determined, but can be artificially intervened or even controlled.

For a long time, when we mention accountants, people will still have a picture of Mr. Zhang in a small hat and glasses, and an abacus account.

However, in this era, accountants can no longer have the time to spend most of their lives with an abacus, even if you just want to keep the three acres of land and do not want to go forward in life.

On the contrary, with the pressure of price rise, inflation and high-speed flow of information, it is people's sense of insecurity about occupation.

As is often said, in this era, the only constant is change. There is no single profession in the world that is completely stable.

Especially for accountants, the new accounting standards,

The introduction of every new regulation or system means that accountants have opened the curtain of learning and charging.

Lv Ling, a financial manager of a private enterprise, said that during her ten years' experience in accounting work, she felt more and more comfortable with her parents in the modern workplace.

Whether from superiors or subordinates or herself, she can feel the sense of insecurity brought about by the depreciation of talents, but this is more obvious in young people who have just worked.

According to statistics, the age of people under 25 is 16 months, and the rate of occupational renewal is 43% when they are under 35 years old.

This has been well proved in the recent survey initiated by the China accounting journal, that is, up to 50% of the accountants interviewed said that the accounting profession

Only 3 to 5 years; 29% of the surveyed accountants considered their career half-life to be 5 to 10 years; only 15% thought the career half-life was more than 10 years; and 6% thought the career half-life had been reduced to less than 3 years.

In the survey, accountants generally felt that the career half-life of accounting industry was getting shorter and shorter.

There are several reasons for this. First, in recent years, the development of the accounting field has been developing rapidly. Two, the number of examinations, qualification and other items in accounting has increased, providing more competitive platforms for accountants. Three, the current accounting industry is in pition from financial accounting to management accounting, and the demand for talents is getting higher and higher.

In the survey, a netizen said,

Shorter and shorter career half-life is a trend.

In the past few years, in the process of reform and informationization of accounting system, many cases that the accountants could not follow the rhythm were chosen by the industry for the two time.

Lv Ling said that when he first arrived at the accounting post, he felt that many jobs were programmed. Many problems had fixed directions or solutions, but the more in-depth the field was, the more in-depth and meticulous the work could be found.

All these require the accountants to keep thinking and learning continuously. Without such accumulation of thinking and learning, it is difficult for accountants to see or discover where they can seek novelty and change.

In addition, some accountants also said that the accounting half-life of accountants at different levels and accountants in different types of institutions is different.

Generally speaking, the higher half of the accountants will have a longer career half-life, that is to say, the stability of their careers will be even higher; the accountants working in private enterprises will work longer and more stable, and their career half-life will be longer. This is because for the owners of private enterprises, subordinates' familiarity and trust are often more important.

The shorter the career half-life, the more unstable a person's career or development is. The magic weapon for accountants to deal with this problem is to continue to charge ahead of the development of the industry and at least keep pace with the development of the industry.

They use their spare time to go to university for further studies, sign up for various examinations, enrich themselves continuously, and even do not pass the continuous education once a year or 24 hours.

"It is never too old to learn". For many accountants, learning and work have become a state that they are accustomed to. Busy is interpreted as enrichment, and the boring book is interpreted as the scenery in the old pile of paper.

The existence of occupational half-life may be a pressure or a driving force.
