I'm not happy in my day job. Almost finished with my 4 year IT degree, I'm
cleaning mailing lists and doing light database maintenance. I've been
looking through the job ads. Unless you're a network admin, there are no
jobs in IT in Cincinnati. No entry-level jobs, no mid-level jobs, certainly
no jobs for COBOL mainframe skills, no jobs for project leaders.
But, lo, everyone needs accountants. There are entry-level data entry jobs,
mid-level jobs using PC software for small companies (where they seem to be
called "bookkeepers"), really good jobs for people with a 4 year degree in
accounting, and even several jobs for the top of the heap: CPAs and people
familiar with adherence to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
I think I'm gonna switch. What say ye?
