What is the best for you depends on your preferences. Remember that just because someone says they find a particular job boring, you might have the completely opposite reaction! The best way to figure out whether accounting is a profession that you would enjoy is to take some classes, talk with your accounting professors, talk to people who work in accounting, and try it out in an accounting or bookkeeping internship. Your school’s career services office can help a lot with this type of career exploration.
