     In the world of accounting their are so many options to choose from when you become a certified public accountant. The list is endless and includes job careers as a bookkeeper, a budget analyst, finanicial manager and a tax examiner. My two career options would be a Information Management Technologist and a Cost Estimator.

Cost Estimators analyze and collect data so that they may determine money, time, labor, materials required to construct a building or do a project of sizable magnitude. These types of accountants visit construction sites and make about $60,000 a year. The job outlook for this employment is steadily increasing from 2009 until the present to the tune of 14% per year.

Being a Information Management Technologist is especially intriguing to me because it involves science with the math aspect of things. What their job entails is understanding the technical skills and financial acumen that can ultimately lead to better financial situations in a business setting. They work within big corporations and make about $80,000 a year. With steady job growth at 14% also no wonder why becoming an accountant is a growing trend.
