How to become a accountant?
How do, I shall start of by telling that i am 18. I left school and went to college to do electrical installation but left after 6 months 'cos i had so much time of and no chance of passing. i recently turned 18 and have decided when the next academic year starts i shall be hoping to start an accountants course, but the problem is..i left school with not very good GCSE's. Quick breakdown.. - MATHS - D - ENGLISH - D - SCIENCE - D, few C's in P E and I.T and few more in non important subjects... (Oh btw i blame my maths teacher(s) for me not getting a C as they are stupid and stubborn :) ) So is there much hope for me to get on the road to becoming a accountant? and if not what do i have to do to be able to? ty vm fr. not arsed conner about my spelling mistake 'AN'. You got a real answer? say it! If not..go die.

Answer 1 :
You can't become AN accountant with a D in math.
Answer 2 :
Go to the library or buy a book on accounting. Lock yourself in your room for a month (not literally) and learn as much as you can and become a pro. Then you will see if you can and you'll will find school is easier since you already learned on your own. Get an internship at a company and bam...u are all set.

Junior Accountant HELP!?
Junior Accountant HELP!?
So here's the story...my dad knows this guy who runs a big business and asked if there was any jobs going, I went for a little interview today and they gave me the job on the spot, (junior accountant) as they desperately need someone to help and I start a week on Monday...I have no experience within this field and feel that I will not pick the duties I should be carrying out as quick as they wold like me to, I also have a 3 month trial and really would like to keep the job after as I need the money as well, but I feel like I should revise or do a practise run, so I'm just wondering if there is anything I can practise working on maybe revise something, so I have a little bit of knowledge about accounting and bookkeeping, profit loss statements and what the spreadsheets look like etc :) ?? x

Answer 1 :
Well they liked you enough to employ you. So calm down and go with the flow and see what happens on Monday. It is a vague title and may well be a trainee position and they may well fund some courses and train you up with the required skills. It is possible to become an accountant from an in house position, but it could be a glorified name for a bookkeeper of some doing the wages. Just be yourself on Monday and see how it pans out. Dress smart for the working environment, make sure you are immaculate on the first day and this will make you feel more business like and remember that everyone had to start some where!
Answer 2 :

Answer 3 :
Hi, I am 28 and work as a Credit Controller in an Insurance company. I think most people do not have exiting jobs, I am not even sure what an exiting job would be, ...working in a circus? lol. I am sure there are many lovely things about you, it does not matter which job you are in, and it is probably even good that you don't jump from planes all the time. I guess you are a little shy, but judging from your question you do not need to be as it sounds very cute. ;-) Happy New Year!!
Answer 4 :
life is a risk but looks like your more worried about being sexy lol . being sexy is the way you want to look and feel ,your hair changed just a bit and clothes with class but yet the look that makes a man take a second look . you are what you want to be ,just put your mind to it ,take a look in the mirror and decide if the change is mild but not risky and just how beautiful and sexy do you think the change is for you .do this in a clothing store so you can try different things ,maybe take a friend . when you find the look the give it a shot ,good luck . don't be a sissy _DO IT !!!!!! :)
Answer 5 :
You're OK, don't worry, we don't all want james bond!
Answer 6 :
Hi there, today's society is too work oriented and people stupidly define themselves by their jobtitle. In life we take on many jobs and our life progresses, as we grow we also see life differently and may want a career change. When this happens, you don't change being you, it is just your job which changes. According to society's view, if you change career you must become a different person. Rubbish!! Life pans out differently for each of us and the reason you see yourself as boring is because you are comparing your life/career with other people's. You can't do that. What made you happy about your choices in life before gave you confidence and happiness. Just because you have been doing the same job for some time and it has become tedious doesn't mean you are boring and tedious- you are not your job. Everyone is different which is why you can't compare yourself with anyone else- there are no similarities in things which are different. The beauty of this is, is that as people are different they all like different things and you will find lots of people sharing the same interests as they overlap and living a similarish lifestyle. If that is so then there is definitely someone compatible for you that you can marry and be very happy with (as they will be with you) as some people like dull, some like bad behaved etc etc. Horses for courses is the idiom here.
