I went to college to get a degree in accounting, but a few years in, turned my focus to finance. When I graduated, the company I was working for offered me apromotion and I took it. Now I am 5 years removed from school and I have no experience in the field I have a degree in. I make good money and I enjoy my job,but this recession/depression is causing me to rethink my career choices. Our business is being hit hard and my experience makes me attractive to othercompanies feeling the same stress we are.
For those who have a career in finance or accounting, what was your first job in your field? What should I be looking for to get my foot in the door? Are youhappy with your job? How long have you been working and where are you at now? What kind of hours would I be working to move ahead?
Any advice/info would be appreciated.
