Best & Worst Things About This Career
As reported by people currently doing the job
"The best part of my job is problem solving, which I find helps keep the mind fresh. I usually have to reconcile other's work and it can take some time to finding their errors. The end of the year is the busiest time due to audit reconciliations. The worst part of the job is the constant repetition which can make the job boring. The entries and reconciling are the same for every month and the work always follows the same monthly cycle."

Tips for Succeeding in This Career
Helpful info from insiders
"If you like numbers and problem solving you would like accounting. I would suggest accounting as a major and management as a minor. Working toward a CPA will require a lot of studying and take a lot of your time, but in the end it should be worth the work. You can also do well in this career with an undergraduate degree. The higher the degree the faster you will advance in you career as with all jobs."
