The accounting industry is good for some and not for others.
I first went into it because I was very good at it and everything came naturally. I would get B's in accounting without even studying.
I thought I would get a routine job with a routine salary, nothing more nothing less.
Life changed and my priorities changed. I realized that I would kill myself in a boring environment with no job satisfaction. Pretty much accountants are the designated drivers for everyone going to a party (example from a professor).
At first when I told people my major was in Accounting everyones first reaction was "you do seem like that accountant type". Now I know thats true and I have bigger plans in mind.
This is why I am "Glad" I did not get into the Accounting Industry. My advice for people is to do what makes you happy and that will motivate you in the long run.
Personally I don't want to work under someone for avg salary at 30k a year and suck ass to eventually make 50k and still be sucking ass to someone. Even when your making 100k a year you will still be sucking someones ass.
