Accounting can be as exciting as you want it to be. I don’t think you can judge accounting AT ALL from the way it is presented in the classroom…*boring*….

If you enjoy computers, you can be a consulting accountant to help install major computer systems. Try converting thousands….to millions of customers over a weekend to a new accounting system…..with no change in the quality of service to the customer.

If you enjoy working with people you can sign on with a public accounting firm and work with various clients throughout the year. Always a different mix of customers.

If you are analytical, you can do research and due dilligence for mergers and acquisitions…..or forensic investigations of white collar crime.

Throughout your accounting career you can switch your path for varying degrees of challenges and opportunities..

I’ve never left accounting….but I’ve hopped around from large corporations to small ones….major to minor players.

If you enjoy challenges and digging into details, accounting will be a good fit for you. If you enjoy puzzles where there is only one good answer……accounting is the place to be. If you work well under deadlines and enjoy publishing a finished product every month….then stick with accounting!

properly, I also have a query for you – Are you chuffed being an accountant? (for sure no longer, based on your submit). Why no longer? i’m an accountant doing litigation artwork and it rather is the main thrilling and problematic artwork i’ve got ever carried out. yet, I could inform you that i might exchange careers in a coronary heart beat if I had to do tax artwork – for me it rather is in basic terms a nap fest however i understand CPAs who like it. So, my suggestion is to aim out some thing diverse in case you choose to accomplish that. there’s an excellent call for for accountants so in case you come to a decision to come back back to the occupation it won’t be a difficulty for you. otherwise, attempt to do some thing diverse interior the accounting field different than in spite of you’re at the instant doing. Accounting is somewhat like agency – it rather is totally vast so which you would be able to attempt diverse areas until eventually you detect some thing that keeps you challenged and chuffed – chuffed is the foremost observe. 🙂 sturdy success!
