Accountancy is okay once you get past the bean counting stage :
Finance is where its at : If in Toronto pursue the CFA
You will be better equipped for Investment and your personal Stock portfolio !

That's a lie!
Accounting is not boring.....especially if you work for a large corporation!
(working at your own business or in an accounting firm (auditing) can get tedious and repetitive....but it's a good way to get your 'feet wet') my new manager, right after she graduated, worked for Deloitte for 4 years, gained lots of experience and is now a manager for a very large business.
I am always dealing with every other department within the business.....no time to get bored.
if it's one thing i don't like about account is the deadlines.
almost on a daily basis you have to get things done.
and then you have monthends and yearends.....and audits - external and internal.
I am very limited to what days in the month i can take off - I know not to even request certain days.
