My nephew has expressed interest in becoming an accountant and wants to have a chat with me about what the career and lifestyle is like. Part of me wants to yell "DON'T" but I'd rather give him a fair chance to make up his own mind. That being said, what advice would you give to a young adult considering a career in accounting? Would you steer them in any particular direction?
