I would assume just an accounting clerk. It's not a bad career.

Well you could join the work force, or you could get an accounting degree, or an bussiness administration degree.

Generally speaking....  In a large office you will find all 3...\n\nA receptionist is the first person you see in the office.  When you arrive at an office, you check in at that desk.  They let the person you have an appointment with know you have arrived, they take care of menial office work, and they answer  the phones and direct people to the correct department/person.\n\nA secretary will do more, she usually types, takes dictation, she would get the call from the receptionist and then either take a message or pass it on to her boss, a little more office work, but geared just to her boss... not the office in general.\n\nAn administrative assistant is the next step up.  These are people who do BIG things for their bosses... like accompany them to meetings, sit in on meetings and take notes, they make travel plans for them, prepare reports, etc.  Things above and beyond what a secretary would do.  A secretary may work for both the AA and the Boss, etc.\n\nNow in a small office setting, you may see just one person who does all of those jobs.  And the title may be interchangable.\n\nI believe that if you got a secretary diploma you can work you way up to AA.

You can always get a job in the academic world being a teacher or sub, and can teach in college if you further your degree. Something besides that would be something along the lines of working and compiling statistics, research in math (disproving current theories, making your own theories, coming up with new ways to solve things, etc. but technically need a doctrate in math for that), or system analyst. I would think going into accounting would be pointless with your degree especially if you're smart and can a lot of things.

Any type of degree or certification improves your chances over those who don't have it.  An AA is also a good stepping stone to a Bachelor's...and sounds like it's a good short-term goal for you.  As an individual who has to hire people periodically, if an individual is over 25 and doesn't have a degree or certification of any sort, I put their resume aside.  I worked full time, had a full time job, and helped support a household and still managed to find time to improve myself with education.  So, I expect the same of those who will work for me.

As a person working in Accounting without an Accounting degree I can say that it is truly a profession for people with great attention to detail.  It is not really a job for someone who thrives on interaction with others, because so much of the work involves just quietly sitting at your desk plugging away on Excel spreadsheets and accounting software.\n\nI was never a math whiz, but accounting doesn't require math  wizardry, just an understanding of basic concepts (debit/credit, etc) and an eye for detail.\n\nThe good thing is, if you have those qualities you will always have a job because every business needs an accountant.

An accountant is someone who records numbers and knows the rules regarding how those numbers need to be recorded it.  Accountants are not necessarily investment gurus.  Plus accounts who work usually only earn a fixed salary unlike someone who is a sales person earning a commission.  If you are working for a commission your income is not fixed and you have the potential for much higher income.\nAlso, accountants don't make that much money.\nI know because I am an accountant. The money is decent but not great.

I started going to college for a Business Administration degree, but changed like most.  You could do practically anything in the business world (entry/mid level wise).  I.e. Customer service supervisor.  I guess it depends on what you want to specialize in.

The role of an Accountant may include aspects of the following:-\n\n- Tracking company expenses\n- Writing, error checking, analysing financial documents\n- Identifying problems and inefficiencies with the way the business is run\n- Ensure the correct tax is paid\n\nDepending on the job, the accountant may also perform audits of any client companies.\n\nA management accountant works at the cross-company level, looking at budgets, costs, assets, yearly targets, tracking year to date against and highlighting issues and areas that can benefit from streamlining efficiencies.\n\nYou will need a good head for figures and numbers, enjoy analysis, and will need a BA degree.\n\nJob prospects are good for graduates - lots of large firms hire many trainees every year. Training salary is low but once qualified the rewards can be very good.

Accounts & Tutions will be good. You have to try for the same.  You can try with auditors for accounts and go through news papers for tutions.

Accounting is like technology in a way. Any job where you hope to be a manager will require you to be a bookkeeper and/or an accountant, and like technology, it all helps you move up the chain faster at any company. Even the online director at a company has to be an accountant. Entrepreneurs have to be accountants and techies to get investors.

A lot depends on how bad you want it. I have always believed that if you want something bad enough, no matter how difficult you won't give up until you accomplish it. Besides if it's easy to get would you really want it? I would suggest either an associates or bachelor's in accounting first to prepare you for the test. Good luck to you.

Accounting is a boring job.\n\nHowever, spending the large amounts of money that you make as an accountant is very enjoyable.
