Undergraduate Accounting Students' Perceptions of Accounting Careers in Indonesia on the Accounting Profession Approach.

Public Accounting is one of the leading courses and programs in Indonesia. However, current data shows that the number of accounting professionals in Indonesia is very small compared to the population.Therefore, it is necessary to make students aware of bookkeeping. The purpose of this research is to find out the influence of accounting students' opinions about the accounting profession on their interest in the accounting profession. A sample of accounting students in the 6th and 8th semesters of the accounting curriculum in Swadaya Gunung Jat University were used as respondents. Research results show that the career choices of undergraduate students are more influenced by student interest variables and accounting majors and hard and soft skills do not seem to affect career choice of undergraduate students in accounting.
