i kind of have mixed feelings about it. sometimes sitting at a desk bores the fucking shit out of me, but it pays really well and I'm pretty damn good at it. the only reason i chose this as a career was because I never really had to study and i knew i could make a good living doing it.

i've pretty much done it all. i've worked governmental accounting. i currently work in the private sector doing corporate accounting/tax, but this also involves quite a bit of audit work as well. (thanks sox) i do personal taxes on the side during tax season, and run the books for a few businesses on the side.

ahh that's pretty awesome. the reason i ask is that i'm currently studying corporate finance and accounting, only going to be a sophomore, but i really enjoy it. it's not so much that i have a passion for accounting or finance, i'm not sure anyone can, but i really like working with numbers (especially ones with a dollar sign next to them) and i like knowing where my money is and how businesses function financially.

Uggg I know EXACTLY what you mean... so boring. The pool I work at is like 86 degrees all the time and I have to guard lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays... I've definitely fallen asleep a few times. Thankfully I teach lessons on Fridays and I'm in the water so I'm not like dying of heat, but I'm glad I'm a camp counselor during the day so I get to spend time outside.

if you want to pursue a career in this line of work i would highly recommend going to grad school once you finish undergrad. it'll make finding a job a heck of a lot easier once the time comes and you won't have to start at the bottom of the food chain.

yeah i've been thinking grad school essentially since i was a junior in high school and started looking at schools. ideally, i'd like to find a job that will pay for me to go to grad school, but we'll see how that goes. Ernst and Young, KPMG, PWC, and Deloitte pretty much prey on our grads, and our placement rate a month prior to graduation is something like 95%. basically, the general path would be a firm like E&Y doing audits for 5 or so years until you get to chose what field of companies you want to work with.

launching your career at one of the big four is honestly probably one of the smartest things you can do. it'll be hard work, but will certainly pay off in the long run.

absolutely. it's not necessarily what i want, but it's a start. i've grown up in a small, family owned and run business. my dad is the owner, my dad is the HR department, my dad does the books, my dad answers 75% of the phone calls, my dad signs every check and hands out every delivery slip. i really don't see myself in big business, but to get there the big four is the best route.

In Broadcasting? Or just production?
