I’m sick of accounting-yawnsville. Have any accountants switched careers and what did you switch to?
You should have little trouble with that. I assume that you, like most accountants, have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in business. Such an Education, combined with your accounting experience, should qualify you for any number of positions.
Also, if you are considering going back to school, you might want to consider law. Accounting and law are closely related, so it’s a fairly easy transition.
You may also want to consider starting your own business. You should certainly have the business end in hand. And you could save a good bit of money in incorporating and professional fees. Not to mention that you will probably have little trouble writing an airtight business and financial plan for the bank.
I’m a lawyer now… much more fun.
