text: I am a recent graduate/ accountant. I love the work, my firm, and the industry in general. If you love what you do in the classroom, you will most likely love the work outside of the classroom. Generally, in your first few years, you will not be responsible for dealing with and solving problems. The partners of your firm will deal with those. In private accounting, your supervisors will deal with problems, etc. Once you've been working for a couple years, then you will be faced with situations that you will be making decisions on. Good luck!!!
