Hello my friends,
I started an accounting job yesterday which is going to be basically the same job I had for 4 years that I got fired from last year because I was burned out and not motivated anymore. I am lucky that I have a job and am trying to keep a good attitude about this one. At least for this one there are co-workers my own age. Still, I feel the environment is so fast-paced and I am often confused about what is going on. I think this career (CPA) is over my head and requires a lot more social skills than I thought. When the company hired me they said they expect me to be a manager by next year. I just am not wired to talk to clients all day and explain accounting. I am the type of person that works great when I have tasks to do. I dread small talk with people and putting on a mask for clients.
Anyways, I am going to try my best at this job, but I was wondering if you had any ideas for jobs that I could think about applying to? Are there decent jobs that don't require too much of a social aspect? Where I wouldn't have to go back to school for 4 years? I don't even really like accounting. My dad recommended it when I didn't know what to major in because it has a lot of job opportunities, but I didn't know how much of a social job it is.
