1. The current state of the economy makes it the perfect time to get into accounting. Due to recent changes in the laws, there is more and more bodies needed to perform accounting work. Accounting is pretty much a recession-proof industry. Even in 2001 when the Enron thing happened, all the accountants that worked for Arthur Anderson were able to get other jobs. Of course, no one can "guarantee" that you will always have a job, but pretty much, if you work hard, you can earn a decent living as an accountant. Partners at large accounting firms make 6 digits.
