What is your profession?

[gsugolfer]

What does it consist of exactly?

How did you get into it?

What type of schooling does it require?

I'm a CPA in the audit department of a public accounting firm. In my state, it requires 150 hours of college classes and passing the CPA exam (a national test).

I got into it during college when I took a required financial accounting class and one of my professors (who later turned out to be a great mentor throughout the rest of my college experience) talked me into it.

I worked on and off in a library last year but I couldn't handle the people because I'm really introverted. So, now I'm back in school. I found out yesterday that my first hand option accepted me so I'm starting a two year program with focus on code (HTML 5, CSS, Java, PHP, C++ and much more) and design (a lot of Illustrator I've heard) this fall. It's going to be so much fun!

This won't change when you get the "real" job either...
