The best jobs for accountants are CPA firms (Chartered accountants in other parts of the world). However, only the top 5% - 10% of graduate accountants get get these jobs. Another good employer is the government. Government jobs have much less pressure than jobs in the private sector. If you can get a job as a bookkeeper while going to college, this would be a benefit. Other than that, try to get a job in accounting when you graduate and stay with that job for at least 2 years even if it's a rotten job. This shows potential employers that you have job stability. Some firms here in the U. S hire accountants as season workers during tax time. In the U. S., that's about February 1 through April 15th. This is good experience. Education is important. The entry degree for accountants the the U. S. is a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). Other countries have other names for this degree. If you can get a dual major, such as accounting and finance, this would be helpful. If you can't get a job with a firm as an accountant, you may be able to get a job in another department and then make a horizontal move to the accounting department. Itr is getting harder and harder to get into accounting. First, a lot of the routine work which used to be done by accountants is now automated. Computers are doing the work. Secondly, some of the accounting work is now being done by accounting firms in India. The transactions are sent to Indian firms electronically, The firms in India process the data and send it back electronically.
