What advice would you give someone who is considering a career in accounting?

Give it a shot, with an open mind. Don't quickly conclude that accounting is not for you after you flunk your first test or exam. Keep trying! It might not seem easy at first but be eager to learn and understand the principles. Invest some time in teaching yourself. Ask a lot of "why" questions to help build your understanding of the principles so you know how to apply them in different scenarios.
