Is it difficult to find employment in South Africa?
Is it difficult to find employment in South Africa?
If you were an accountant or doctor or somebody with some sort of good degree would it be difficult to find a job and what is the average wage?
South Africa - 6 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
I dont think so for medicine.but you might have some trouble if you an accountant,especially if you dont have experience.
Answer 2 :
If you're black and poor, yes.
Answer 3 :
Yes, employment is hard to find and recruitment is very political but if you have a skill like the ones you mentioned which require a high standard of education you have a decent chance.
Answer 4 :
No, if you have a good decent degree then it would not be difficult to get a job in there. Africa needs good doctor and engineer to work in their country but I can say that getting a good package is your luck.
Answer 5 :
Depends which gender and race group you belong to.... I can only talk for the medical profession since I don't know much about Accountants. I'm white and female, which doesn't put me in a very favourable group. But I'm still one up on white males. They always talk about the crisis and how they need health professionals. I've dropped off my CV at various hospitals and Department of Health, looking for a job in the public sector since you get more benefits than in the private sector. I haven't had a single reply. I am in contact with some other black people who I studied with and who have applied for jobs at the same hospitals. They got the jobs, I didn't even get a reply stating that my application was unsuccessful. They have exactly the same qualification that I do. In my profession the state employees get on average R10 000 more than those in the private sector. They get housing subsidies, medical aids etc etc. I'm stuck in the private sector getting less than half of what my black counterparts are getting. A friend of mine (white) who has a Master's in genetic research was replaced by a black school leaver. Now if that isn't a kick in the pants I don't know what is.
Answer 6 :
If you have the right qualifications, you will get employed easily. If you just have matric or you did one of those weak programmes from Damelin, ICESA or one of those private colleges, or you have those useless degrees like BA (History), BCom (Economics) or one of those degrees that everyone has e.g HR or BCom or NDip (Engineering) then most likely you will have difficulty in getting a job.

People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
My sister who is would say yes.But all in all she likes it
Answer 2 :
A LOT HARDER THAN BEING AT UNI
Answer 3 :
The thing with accounting is that you have to be really good at math and enjoy it. If math is not one of your better topics, I would look for another career option.
Answer 4 :
I have 1year to go with my Business Accouting BA. I've always loved telling poeple how and when and what to do with their money!!! All my life!! So when I took an accouting class in highschool, it just came so easy to me and thats when Decided I would study accouting in college. Its only as hard as you make it. Goodluck with everything.
Answer 5 :
I wonder why anyone would want to be an accountant ! I've worked in accountancy for 10+ years and recently qualified........The pay is great but that's about If I had my time again I'd choose another career......Like naked beer drinking or something Not that Im trying to put you off.......There are hundreds of accountants who love their job and quite frankly that worries me.
Answer 6 :
Difficult and hard until you know what your doing. Worth thinking about before you commit to getting yourself a degree. Can be extremely boring and not very glamorous
Answer 7 :
There are many different kinds of accountant. If you are reasonably numerate (top 75 percentile) and logical/methodical in your approach to problem solving it isn't difficult at all. The hard part is maintaining interest in your studies, as some segments of the qualifications can be very dull. There are many different types of accountancy work. Management accounting, financial accounting, bursarial work, advisory, forensic, audit.... the list goes on. It is a good career path, and if you take a good combination course, with a management element you may well be able to move into other work. Most senior officers in local government and Chief Executives started their careers in accountancy. If you are seriously considering a post graduate course in accountancy the main options are: CIMA - Chartered Institute of Management Accountants - good generic course with strong management element, liked by business and local government. http://www.cimaglobal.com/cps/rde/xchg/live/root.xsl/index.htm CIPFA - Chartered Institute of Public Finance Accountants - again good management element, but predominantly for those wanting a career in local government. http://www.cipfa.org.uk/ ACCA - Association of Chartered Certified Accountants - generally preferred option for practice accountants http://uk.accaglobal.com/ You could enter the career by working for one of the 'big four', KPMG, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and Ernst&Young. Or any number of other firms, or you could apply for a trainee post within local government. You should expect to take three or four years to qualify, but the financial rewards are high. Before you leap into the career wholeheartedly, why don't you try getting a Summer job in an accounts office, or ask local firms/councils for some work experience to give you an idea of what's involved. Personally I drifted into finance by accident, I've spent 10 years advising non-financial managers on all aspects of financial rules and regulations and the customer facing aspects of the job gave me great satisfaction. I've done some audit/forensic accounting, which is brilliant if you like problem solving and puzzles. Now I'm using that experience in a general management position. Good luck, whatever you decide to do....just remember that there's more to life than work. After all I'm 34 and I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up!!
