|
|
| Hello. I've been reading over these forums and have ordered the free CD. I am forced to find a new career and my curiosity is piqued about this as a possibility. I love working with numbers and computers. However I have a question that I'm not sure if it can even be answered. Is there anyway to find out if this is something I’d be happy with in the long run? Is there any kind of a “bookkeeping interest/satisfaction” test? Any and all comments would be appreciated. Thanks |

Lane, There are dozen's of sites you can check out that provide vocational testing. You like numbers, you like computers you're "forced to find a new career." It sound like this is a good match. I've just started the program and have completed the first module. The course is well presented, the material is easy to follow. They check in with you on a weekly basis, you have a coach you can contact. Following are some results I got from Google by typing in "Career profile test" Accounting. Good Luck Jack
