Question: why did i become an accountant? 

Answer: I switched my college major from Fine Art to Accounting after I saw that there was not going to be an occupation for me from the BFA.  I changed my major to accounting because I was told that was where reliable jobs could be found.\n\nI hated my classes.  I was FORCED by scheduling problems to take an elective in Computer Sciences.  \nI sat in that class and worried for two days because I couldn't for the life of me see what was hard, and figured I must be COMPLETELY MISSING IT to not know.\nBy the end of the week, I changed my major again.\n\nHad I been given a personality test, all of that could have been avoided:\nHere is a link to a Kiersey temperament sorter.  The basic test is free, and it will sort you into a type, such as INTJ, that can be associated with occupations.  They give an overview of the qualities of each type.  \n\nThis will either tell you WHY you are in accounting or tell you where you ought to go to get out.\nhttp://www.personalitytype.com/quiz.asp\nEdit: Changed link, old link no longer giving free results.
