Teacher Defo Because I ;ve always wate dto be one and I hate maths!
Answer 2 :
teacher - you are helping young people to grow into successful adulthood
Answer 3 :
A teacher only because summer, spring and other vacations plus the time off during the year is what keeps me going when times get tough. when times get tough as an account, you just have to deal with it or use some of your leave.

teacher - make a difference in the lives of others, do something really valuable. try to spread the love of learning. accomant- heck no, its about working with math and numbers and money nothign more!
Answer 8 :
Accountant hands down no questions ask. I'd never be a teacher, don't want to mess with kids that are brats. Teacher's go through to much..they have a lot of stuff they have to due and get paid very little for it.
Answer 9 :
Unhypothetically - I am a partially qualified accountant - guess I already picked.
Answer 10 :
you are a dull insipid uninspiring man with all the personaltiy of wet lettuce, whereas in most walks of life this would be a disadvantage in accountancy this would be a positive boon - need I say more.
Answer 11 :
I would be a teacher because you are helping kids to become something better. I've always wanted to be a teacher since I was a little kid. I am going to school to become one in the early childhood education program at my college.

Answer 14 :
teacher to teach kids is a great honour.
Answer 15 :
A teacher. A teacher affects ETERNITY!
Answer 16 :
well both of them required a skill and each of them is different to each profession ..if i wanna make a career it would be an accountant because you do get alot of opportunities open to you as you get to know many thing that a teacher cant and don't know ,even though that person is the path toward me being an accountant.And also you get good pay according to your level of experiences....and also you get lots of opportunities where the work market door will be open to you .....
Answer 17 :
I used to work in accounting and it's about as interesting as watching your fingernails grow. I'm now studying again with a view to becoming a teacher as the career really appeals to me. While working in accounting I always felt rather insignificant and as though I was a small cog in a very large machine. Teaching offers the opportunity to make a genuine difference to childrens lives and potentially shape the world of the future. For me it's a clear choice.
Answer 18 :
I am a Accounting teacher. Some days I don't know why I am teaching if I can earn more money outside education. Some days I love my job when I see that I am opening doors for some children. I guess the answer to your question is that it depends on your mood for the day...
Answer 19 :
a teacher, because i would be able to work with children, create presentations that impact people's lives, learn about other people and myself, and share my experiences and personal understandings with others (who share theirs in return). why would someone want to be an accountant over being an english teacher? perhaps because they don't like kids or because they'd rather work with a computer than people. but, as a teacher, you get amazing vacation deals! and great benefits!
Answer 20 :
I would not be a teacher. I have been a teacher for 28 years and I am hoping to retire at the end of this academic year. I would not recommend the job to anybody as it has become so pressured and stressed. If you do take up teaching then for heaven's sake make sure not to make it your lifelong career or it will kill you.
Answer 21 :
WEll, let's see, teachers deal with little persons all day and accountants get to be all by themselves solving problems all day. Teachers solve problems and help others to solve problems. Accountants keep our finances in order and without them we would not be the "rich" teachers that everyone thinks we are. So if I were to make a choice, that would be VERY difficult. As it is, I have been a teacher for a long time and still enjoy it even though some teachers at this point in time are totally burnt out. Are accountants burnt out? Bet they are! And because I am a teacher and CHOSE to be a teacher instead of being in the dog eat dog corporate world, I am very happy. Granted there are many things I would like to change but the grass isn't always "greener" as they say. So hypothetically....I would like to be a RICH RICH teacher who still loves the kids but doesn't have to put up with admin and all the crazy rules. Guess that isn't much of an answer but your question was quite interesting!
Answer 22 :
Being a good teacher would be more rewarding, spiritually, but perhaps Accountancy woud provide more income.
Answer 23 :
I am a teacher. I wouldn't enjoy being an accountant because I find desk jobs boring. Teaching is ideal if you are a chatty, 'practical' person but also academic. If you're more introverted, a desk job like accountancy would suit you better.
