  Depende namn yan sa economy ng au plus demand and supply. Accountant has been flagged since 2013 ata pero anjan pa din. Unless sobrang walang demand yung occupation pwede maalis na by next financial year or pwede nman na from SOL e malipat sa CSOL. Mas ok lng talaga na mag apply while anjan pa, aantayin pa bang mawala before mag apply
