Applied Accounting (Special) Degree @ SAB (ICASL)

I'm 1st undergraduate student who studying an Applied Accounting (sp) degree at SAB campus. I'm very interested in building a strong career in Accounting or Finance (Especially in Financial Analytics) and I'm willing to follow CA with exemption.

But I have some concerns about the future of the field. I would really appreciate advices from professionals or students in accounting/finance about few things.

1. What are the current and future job opportunities in Accounting and Finance?

2. How are the salaries in this field especially for early career professionals?

3. Which kind of impact do you think AI will have on those jobs in future?

4. Which skills/strategies or certifications should a student focus on now to stay valuable in the industry?

5. Which specialization would you recommend between Business Analytics, Financial Analytics, and Forensic Accounting for better job opportunities, salaries and career growth in the future?
