Think about it this way…
Im going to pick on accountants:
" There are a total of 664,532 CPA licenses in the US.
This brings the percentage of accountants with CPA to 46.3% of all in the workforce."
664532/x=46.3/100
664532=46.3x/100
66453200=46.3x
1,435,274
So 1.435 million accountants in the US. 166.12 million total?.
0.86% of your class is likely to even be in the same job as you, if you’re an accountant.
2.5 people in a class of 300 do the same job as you, 8.6 of them in a class of a thousand.
In a small company, there’s 1 accountant. In larger companies, maybe 2 or 3. The odds of you working with the handful you graduated with in that field is rediculously low, greater than 1 in a million.
