Answer 1 :
Let me tell you from experience It is a boring life - you spend it all day in a small office with women who slander and back-stab each other as well as yourself all day They have their stroppy moments which can last days/ weeks and dont say this wont happen cos it happens everywhere - and its headaches after headaches On the work front, well you need a really good memory and ask yourself, are you willing to sit behind a desk all day watching a computer screen
Answer 2 :
In life you got to listen to yourself and know what your passion is. Develop goals and split tasks to achieve them. I started as an accountant then to an internal auditor. As some say personally I found it repetitive and boring but I found internal audit very exciting. I'm now developing a website - http://www.business-competence.com/ from the knowledge I have gathered as both an accountant and internal auditor. So it all lies with you and the choices you make in life.
Answer 3 :
Yes it is hard, but never boring if you enjoy what you're doing. You'll make more as a CPA than as an in-house accountant. Accountants are required in every field, be it a fashion place or a coal mine.
