So, is the accounting field really that fragile?

I was talking to an individual who had worked as an accountant for aurthor anderson. This person was basically telling me that they thought that all accounting jobs would be out sourced out of the counrty. I still have a way's to go interms of school before I'm totally commited. I initially felt that the account profession would be great. I am getting a little worried as of late though. I have had professors who said that they were forced to quit with the firms that they were in, as they were asked to do illegal transactions. I'm really wondering if I'm making the wrong move.

I really wan't a secure well paying job. I'm maticulous with reguards to details, and I thought that I would make a decent accountant, but if the job's are disapearing or if I have to cross the law, I don't want to go there.

If I didn't go with accounting, I have always had an intrest in realestate, but I don't think I could simply make a career out of just being a realtor. There is already a great number of them. I really wan't to find a job where I can do something with my college degree. I don't like an usecure future, what are your opinions?

Thanks for reading, Nick
