[QUOTE="sdoo500, post: 15649994, member: 129968"] Glad to see so many people have found success in something other than their field. I graduated with an accounting degree a year and a half ago and did fairly well in school. I worked for a small local bank all through college where I ended up working an accounting job there for the last year I was there. I loved the people I worked with and enjoyed my time there but really wasn't happy with what I was doing and with it being so small, the growth there was non existent until someone else retired as no one really ever left. I had the opportunity to work for an exotic car dealer for the last year. I'd always loved cars and had to take the opportunity. I worked as a service writer/jack of all trades and did a lot of different things. I was sick of working at a desk and thought I could have a career in this. I enjoyed my time there but like many have said, and even at that level, working at the dealership made me loose the passion for cars. Management there was also less than stellar (100% of the service department quit within the last month if that tells you anything). Took another accounting job at a large company with plenty of growth where I've been for a little over a month now. I'm trying to remain positive and have a good outlook but finding it difficult to see how I could ever do this my whole life. I loathe coming in every day and sitting at a desk doing the same thing over and over again. I know it is he field I chose so I completely accept responsibility but just don't know where to go next and also don't want to keep bouncing around, as that isn't the kind of guy I am or want to be. I'll put in some time here and see what happens but I know in my head this isn't what I'm going to do forever, but I have no idea what I want to do. Found this thread at the right time! Sorry for the novel [/QUOTE]
