Hi Savannah, AI and automation are really popular right now, especially in fields like blockchain and RPA (Robotic Process Automation). To make yourself stand out, you might want to consider taking some special courses along with your college studies. Options include the US Certified Management Accountant (CMA), which I hold myself, Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), or Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). These certifications are one of the few popular ones that help you focus on specific parts of accounting and finance and are globally recognized. Invest time in exploring these courses to find where your interest lies. Good luck!
