When I was in high school, I liked my accounting class because I liked bookkeeping--I like putting things in order and keeping things in order. You have to be careful, organized, and detail-oriented in my field. You also have to be honest and have integrity, because you're dealing with other people's financial records. And you have to be a hard worker who knows how to learn, because my job changes from day-to-day and year-to-year as the tax laws change.
