Right guys. I'm bored. I'm beginning to think that Accounting isn't for me, or maybe I'm just going through a bad period?? But I was thinking, what on earth could I do other than Accounting??
So I thought, how did the other people on this forum get into their careers?? I'll tell you how I got into mine:

Completed a degree in accounting. Thought to myself "hmm, what can I do now?? Well, I'll get a job in accountancy until I decide". The rest is history!!

Come on guys and gals, let me know how you got into your careers, and also maybe give me some suggestions as to what I could do??

Thanks

get back to your work,

you are an accountant,
you will finish off your exams
you will end up chaging mugs like me £150 an hour.
you will continue to put that oilly smelly muck in your car

end of rant

How do you get your personality back after being in accounting for so long ?

It's only been 7 years (since I left uni and started work), so I'm sure it wouldn't take long!!

Iam in the same boat zooter and iam so fed up with research/ chemistry. I really do not want to see a lab again. I know I enjoy business so I think I will divert my career after the PhD but right now iam fed up and if this thesis is not finish soon I will kill myself. I had enough of this now.

The hardest part is the writing up and every time I think is fine, it get extended by my supervisor. I was supposed to submit my thesis this Friday and I was so happy about it but it looks like, it will be extended until Monday, I really had enough and can’t take anymore. It is constant 16 hrs at least every day staring at the computer. Anyway never mind, sorry zooter to hijack your thread but if you are not happy with your career, move.

Get back to work. It will all be good in the long run. Stick with it.

I kind of know how you feel. I majored in Psychology and finally in my last year I am like "ummmm this isn't for me" and am now looking more into marketing/PR/event planning. I wish I hadn't wasted my time doing something I never really loved. The important thing (which I never realized) is actually being determined to do something that you will be happy with for the rest of your life..even if that means you have to go out on a limb which may at the time seem unreasonable and stupid. In the end you will be happier. And I guess my Psychology experience is never really wasted, because it can be applied in so many areas. I think the same goes for all fields. So I won't say it was a waste....
