Are Many Options, Too Many Options?

When it comes to picking a career path, there are too many to choose from it seems like.  But once you finally make that life changing decision, even MORE options seem to open up in that career field.  It can be overwhelming at times, but researching all the options never hurts.

Which path do I take?

Since I made the decision to study Accounting and become a Certified Public Accountant, I have many options to choose from when it comes to which area I want to specialize in.  I can choose from specializing in tax, audit, management consulting, financial analysis, management accounting, and many more.  Along with choosing an area to specialize in, you also have to choose where you want to work.  You can work for any sized firm.  It can be large, like an international firm, or it can be a small one.  You can even start your own firm and make it whatever size you want it to be.  But I am still on my journey to becoming a CPA, so I still have awhile to decide what area I want to specialize in and where I want to work.

I have been seeking lots of information about CPA's lately and I found a blog called The CPA Desk. This blog helped me understand some things about what CPA's do and how they help others.

My time to choose my specific career path in Accounting will come soon enough.  Hopefully I do enough research about all the topics involved with being a CPA and choose the right one for me!
