In your post about shoes for a job interview, you implied that you were going on interviews for the job position of accountant.

Now you are saying that you have a while to go an are undecided about account (your word) as a stable solid profession because all the jobs are going to be outsourced. If you know so little about business that you accept that statement, then maybe you should find a major other than business.

We have a trillion dollar annual gross sale economy. A trillion. Do you seriously think that all those businesses are going to have their accounting done in India. I don't think so. My mfg. clients have exteme difficulty finding an accountant that has a clue about anything other than taxes. Have you opened your phone book lately and looked up Accountants? There a just a few of them!!

Stability. It will not be stable if you are so sloppy that you can't spell words correctly. That implies that you may not be attentive enough to ever master accounting in school, let alone when it really gets difficult out in the field.

I was an accountant, and a financial controller. Then I went on to sales and management. In my opinion, an understanding of Accounting, is the single most powerful tool for people moving up the chain of command. It was fairly boring actually. The other thing is that is, by it's very nature, largely historical rather than line in nature. There is a great need for people who desire stable and safe careers in accounting. However, most of the time the money is in line functions. The reason the money is there, is that many of those positions require you make it happen or you are outa there. Line positions are very satisfying if you like risk.

Anyway, learn to spell or those $300 dollar shoes I recommended won't make any difference.

Bluntly,
