Social media has become an integral part of students’ lives and is increasingly being used as a means of interactive learning. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of social media use in supporting students’ learning process, by highlighting the benefits, challenges, and solutions that can be applied. The research method used is a qualitative approach with case studies, in-depth interviews, and thematic analysis. The results of the study indicate that social media provides flexibility in accessing learning materials, increases academic engagement, and facilitates discussion and collaboration between students and lecturers. However, there are several challenges, such as distraction, unguaranteed validity of information, lack of structure in learning, and gaps in access to technology. To overcome these challenges, strategies are needed such as good time management, increasing digital literacy, active roles of lecturers in directing learning, and institutional support in increasing access to technology.

This study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge and motivation on accounting students' interest in choosing a career in taxation. The case study was conducted on students of the Accounting Study Program, Dua Saudara Bitung College of Business and Management and Petra Bitung College of Economics. The low interest of students in pursuing a career in taxation is often caused by a lack of knowledge about taxation and existing job opportunities. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method through a questionnaire. The results of this study are that Tax Knowledge (X1) has a significant and positive influence on Career Interest in Taxation (Y). This can be seen from the calculated t value of 4.157 which is greater than the t table (1.66543) and a very small significance value (0.000 0.05). Motivation (X2) has a significant and positive influence on Career Interest in Taxation (Y). The t-value for motivation is 3.059, which is greater than the t-table (1.66543), with a significance value of 0.003 0.05. It is concluded that both Tax Knowledge (X1) and Motivation (X2) have a significant influence on Career Interest in Taxation (Y) at the Bitung Dua Sudara Business and Management College and the Bitung Petra College of Economics. This shows that to increase career interest in taxation, it is important to develop knowledge and motivation related to the field. These two variables positively influence an individual's desire to pursue a career in the taxation profession.
