She has also considered…accounting (says it sounds boring)



I have to put a plug in here for accounting. If she goes into public accounting after graduation, it can be anything but boring. My experiences in just my first few years of working after graduation led me to work on companies in a wide variety of industries that I would never have been exposed to otherwise. I audited companies that were established in their industries and start up companies in emerging industries. I had contact with a wide range of personnel in these companies, all the way up to the highest level officers. I learned about industries from the inside out. It was a great way to preview companies and industries as potential careers and even to land a job in private industry.
