RE: Sunset Tail
So late to my replies, @kiokizz! I'm here when I am awake pretty much, lol.
I was in the US and did accounting for 30 years. I did auditing, financial statements, tax work, non-profit accounting, corporate, government and military.
If you see my profile, it says "nomad" and this applies to my work life as well. I had jobs a short as 4 hours and the longest was 7 years. Including audit clients, I'm into many 100's of jobs.
I am a CPA, MBA, Enrolled Agent (to be able to practice before the US Federal Tax Court) and have another 10 or so certs.
I pretty much love all of it. But my health means 9-5 is no longer for me.
How do you like the work?
Coming out of uni with a Certificate in Accounting didn't really prepare me for the job.. I'm getting there though. No substitute for experience :/
I'd like to try other areas of accounting k the future, but I'm content trying to keep the rules for one area in my mind for the moment :)

I was lucky - I worked my way through accounting school by being a bookkeeper with a lot of good mentors. I had a ton of various real world experience when I got my degree. It took me 7 years to get a four year degree since I was working full-time too. It made a huge positive difference in the long run.
Yes, definitely stick to one until you know it. Taxes will never let you down since everyone has to pay them. Suck in all the knowledge you can :)
