Can boys be book keepers ?

I am going back to college and I've noticed book keepers can work part time and get paid pretty well. I have understanding of basic accounting concepts. Can boys be book keepers ? I notice most are girls and the adds seem to want people who have children.

1. Why not? You can start out working as a bookkeeper and work on your CPA degree. To relate it to the Books and Authors section - Bob Cratchit was a bookkeeper. ---- They're, Their, There - Three Different Words. Careful or you may wind up in my next novel. Pax - C
2. They're, Their, There I don't get it
3. Lots of accountants are men. Don't think it should be a problem. Don't think you can be turned down for a job based on gender, it's against the law.
4. I don't know what you mean about "girls" and "people who have children." But, yes, bookkeeping is a great profession. Be aware that it is nearly mandatory now to be completely familiar with QuickBooks as well as with accounting principles. If you want to work on your own, your rates should range anywhere from $25 to $65 an hour. Build up a client base and you'll be making pretty good money.
5. Yes. They grow up to be CPA's and make good money! Go for it.
6. Why not. I've always wanted to be a book keeper. I am a girl, but still. Seriously, what is someone gonna do kill you?
