Pros/cons of being an accountant/studying accounting

<p>So I'm majoring in business with a concentration in accounting. Who else is majoring in accounting? Personally, what's your pros and cons studying accounting?</p>

<p>And for the people working as an accountant or accounting related job, personally whats your pros/cons about the career? ALL OPINIONS APPRECIATED</p>

<p>Anyone? please</p>

<p>you should pm taxguy, valleyaccountant, and numbahone. I’ve talked to both taxguy and numbahone. That’d be your best bet since they are actually in the field.</p>

<p>I have a business major and accounting minor, MSA and my CPA. I would be happy to give you some feedback if you send me a message.</p>

<p>I’m an accountant and there are great “pros”! First, every business needs an accountant. This results in many job opportunities. When I graduated I went the auditing route which I loved because everyday is different and I got to travel extensively around the country. I have friends that work for movie studios in LA, one working for a major league baseball organization and another who audits defense contracts for the government. After public auditing, I became an internal auditor for a major restaurant chain and continued traveling the US, as well as Europe. I stayed home for many years with my kids, and now work part time for the FDA. I really can’t think of any cons except studying for the CPA exam, although I did work for a construction company when I was college and I thought that was boring. The point is you can move into any industry that interests you. Finally, it pays really well!</p>

<p>The pro is that you’re an accountant.</p>

<p>The con is that you’re an accountant.</p>
