I didn’t choose SALT, SALT chose me as it was my only offer out of school. I like the area because not many people focus on it so ive been able to advance my career faster than I otherwise would. Also find it generally interesting as laws are always changing. I find many general practitioners really don’t know what they’re doing which makes finding value-added services pretty easy.

I’m passionate about the things life offers outside of SALT and SALT allows me to comfortably live my life. As D1 said, SALT also chose me.

There is so much more ambiguity in SALT than federal tax which can drive some people nuts. But this also allows for creativity within the tax profession. I feel like it's one of the few specialities where thinking outside the box can lead to great results, which I personally find rewarding. It keeps me curious and engaged so I know I'll never get bored of this work.

SALT is awesome. It’s like being at all you can eat buffet of issues to learn and projects to sell. Great in any business environment!

So, to survive or earn well, should I consider switching to any of these ?
If possible could you help me with what to learn and any resources for that ?
