Why accounting? If youre a student deciding if the profession is the right career for you, the American Institute of CPAs would like to influence you a bit with their new and improved Web site,
The site, which as been around since 2001, has been revamped to offer new interactive career paths, job-shadowing opportunities and scholarship searches.
One particularly cool feature is FutureMe, a potential career path that students can customize based on responses to a series of questions pertaining to their personality and preference. Asking questions like, this reliable crystal ball says someday youll come across a job youre not crazy about but will double your salary. What do you do? The simulated career path gives insight to the visitor as to what life is like in a particular position, salary and weekly hours, as well as a timeline of how one might achieve this position.
The Web site also serves educators through education plans, print profile testimonials from practicing CPAs and links to accounting resources and articles.
