Industry Accountants - how much did you have to remember from school?

Hi, I am a junior in college currently majoring in accounting and I plan on working in industry. I worry a lot as graduation comes closer because I haven’t really retained things and even if I brush up on the basics it’s not like I’ll be a professional and know how to do an entry for everything. I wanted to ask those in industry what was your first job like when you finished university and how much was expected for you to have retained from school? Did they ask technical questions in your interview? Also which are best industries to work for that won’t stress you so much.

What jobs are there with a degree in accounting besides an accountant?

Hello, I am a senior in high school. After college I plan on becoming a public accountant but I will still like to learn about other options because just because you have a degree in accounting doesn't mean you have to be a public/private accountant, auditor, tax person, etc. I will either major in accounting and minor in computer information technology or major in accounting with a finance concentration. Thank you!
