I find it hilarious that accounting is trying to rebrand away from being boring because of the hiring crisis. Did you think accounting was boring before you started, and do you think it's boring now? If you don't - whats the most exciting part of it for you personally?

Most exciting part is learning how businesses work. It gets boring when the firm is selling work it can’t staff so you’re working all day and don’t have any work life balance. That’s just my experience but cool thing about accounting is it can you lead in many different areas not directly related to posting journal entries or auditing.

I never really though accounting was super boring but I think that's cause it's a popular career in my family. My brother and uncle are both accountants also, and my sister works in tax. I think what made it interesting was that I could finally participate in more conversations and relate to them better when I got into it.

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!

I haven't been to this national park yet, so I was curious how it compares to Zion for example, where it is easy to bike from "stop to stop" to view the scenery or do a hike!
