I graduated with a bachelors in business administration and I am now considering pursuing a career in accounting. I want to go back to school to obtain an MS in accounting but I am not sure if accounting is right for me. Having taken finance accounting and economics for my undergrad I can tell that these are definitely my areas of interests I just need to find my niche among the careers associated. I am definitely a conventional personality type to a T. I like ordered environments and systematic and numerical activities. I am very orderly and persistent and I consider myself practical. I like to avoid ambiguous situations and I am most effective at well defined tasks. Do you know a specific area of accounting that matches that criteria? The idea of working 60-70 hrs also does not appeal to me (which sounds like public accounting).
