This past year, I started taking some accounting courses to figure out if I was the sort of person who could do precision work. I’m rather amazed to discover that I really like to make the numbers come out right, that I love having all the information in bits and pieces and bringing it all together in a set of financial statements. I’m still learning, but I’ve actually gone to work for an accounting firm to help out with tax season. I’m not getting rich, but while I’m taking the classes, this is perfect. And it’s amazing what one can learn on the job too.
