Hmmm, Lama
I have twice encountered accounting: first when I followed my
father's wishes and became an articled clerk with a view to chartered
accountancy, second when I started learning accountancy again in 1998
because the RAF would pay for the training. Both times they were
excruciatingly boring... I am glad that I failed 6/7 exams in my
first year.
What about an MBA? You would enjoy the training and it would be more
of a "generalist" qualification, widely recognised.
Good luck
Chris

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?
