yeah good point. I'm hoping to do more work as I get more experience. Do you have any other suggestions on what accountants do?

accounts can be divided into several fields like financial accounting management accounting external auditing tax accounting and cost accounting, so think about which of these fields youd like best and plan your college track around them.
