I am finishing my bachelors degree in April, and I am trying to find what exactly it is I would like to do as a career. I have been working in an entry level accounting position in a monitoring role for 3 years, but I am not sure trying to go up the corporate ladder is the right choice for me. I believe either starting some sort of consulting or working for a small business would suit me better.

At my current position, I well exceed expectations. I am an effective learner, making me “The Expert” at what I do. I have strong analytical abilities, and good written communication skills.

My oral communication skills depend on the situation. Face to face I am effective, but over the phone isn’t as great. As bad as it sounds, I would prefer to email over talk on the phone (there’s no backspace when talking over the phone ;) ).

Overall, I think I would need a more technical position over managerial (I have some management experience, but I prefer to do it myself rather than rely on people below me).

I am trying to look at “big picture” positions, something I would look at attaining over 10 years, with a professional designation, or Masters, or other post-degree requirements that may be required. Does anyone have any thoughts on career paths that might suit me??

    A technical consultant would be more better for you. Medical Coding Consultant is a great position and so is an Accounting Position that deals with converting GAAP to IFRS which will start happening in a few years…. An Accounting position as a consultant on Sarbanes Oxley Act is another avenue and so is Forensic Accounting and Certified Fraud Expert. ernesthinton
