So you're not an accountant anymore then? Or do you do both? Did/do you work in practice or industry for accountancy?
Trained in practice about 19 years ago for a few years, went to Uni, got qualified, worked in industry for a bit, bagged a job as a finance director for a big leisure co., then on to being CEO for a different co, working with VC's who invest in the leisure industry, in London and now in NZ.
Might just be about to change jobs again. Got a rather tasty offer from an Aussie Private Equity fund this week, which I'm having a think about.
I would rather work in McDonalds and chew my toenails off than work in practice. It's a waste of time IMO, you get crap money, the work's boring, and the environment is like a big production line.
Take the skills and the qualifications, and make them work for you in the big wide world. You can use it as a stepping stone to some really interesting careers.

i'm loving life right now and it's time to make some changes. i want to be a spirit of the universe floating around from place to place, living simply, not being stressed and enjoying every dayJust need to figure out how to pay off my debts and then that's it. I quit mainstream life for good!
