[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two posters mentioned accounting. Wouldn’t long hours be required Jan-apr in the public accounting fields?  [/quote]
Do corporate accounting. DH did the Big 4/6/8 (or whatever number they’ve merged/split into) and indeed did mega hours in those months. Only managers and partners made The Money. Been on the corporate side now for decades and likes it and its work/life balance much better. Still tedious work at times, and you’re often the bearer of bad (financial) news but it’s steady, respectable work where Al is just another tool in toolbox - not much different than EBS/software replacing columned ledger paper. 🤪

People still need to get paid and someone’s gotta count the last penny (even though they don’t make ‘em anymore). A [i]good [/i]accountant is often the last one let go in a buyout or even brought over in a merger. Ask me how we know…..

Neither DC has any interest in accounting but oldest is pursuing the BSN/RN/CRNA route mentioned upthread with the plan of maximum flexibility and commensurate pay given the time/effort for the credentials. [/quote]
