possibly changing career to accounting??

[hanje1996]

i am currently working on my doctorate in music and am thinking about starting a career in accounting or bookkeeping. i am 30 and am looking for advice or comments about whether this would be possible or worthwhile. i have no idea where to start and am thoroughly scared and excited at the same time... any thoughts?

The best way is to go to business school and get a MBA focusing on accounting.

This isn't really something other people can answer for you. Do something you're passionate about and dedicated to and you're bound to succeed.

Coming to a message board in regard to this change of heart will not generate advice specific to your life. Accounting coupled with a CPA is a great profession if you don't mind long hours and boring work.
