Wait, you took an accounting class? And why did you decide it wasn't for you? I mean, that would have been the post I really wanted to read! OK, I really just wanted to read any post, but I am more interested in greater details.
So, you're quitting accounting, quitting your credit cards or possibly both? Or the game store? Or your job? Or visiting the zoo?
PSM-- I took an accounting class to see if I liked it since I hate my job so frequently lately and may need to find a new career choice one of these days. Turns out, accounting is like a good puzzle. It's all good as long as I can look in the answer book when things don't work. Otherwise, it just irritates me. Since the real world doesn't come with an answer book, it's probably not the best career choice.
DRH-- I'm quitting accounting. Credit cards are not my friend. The game store is therapy for the days I hate my job so I can't quit that. A change of job scenery may be in my future. That would probably do a lot for solving the hating my job problem. It's not really the actual job that I hate. I visit the zoo daily. Remind me to describe this year's class to you sometime.
Maybe describe the class in your next blog entry? An let's start a discussion on the possible alternative careers you have pondered...
Teach school in South America?
Just a basic online accounting class. Not blog worthy.
Teaching internationally has crossed my mind . . . .
What about a trip planner?
Now you're talking. How does one become a trip planner?
**36 hours till I go to Chicago!**
I am going to start checking your blog about as often as I check Jon's!!
Okay, I found you a job. I just got an invitation to a 'party' (like Pampered Chef) it is called Simply Fun they sell games and activities. I actually might go to the party just to see what they have to offer YOU. Simplyfun.com
Yeah, let me know how it is. I think I'm in the market for a new job. . . Don't even get me started.
Daph, I'll have to let Barry know about your accounting epiphany. He had that many times (he's a CPA), but then his alternative was to become a teacher. So glad he wised up and stayed in his current profession!
