(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey,

I was thinking about my future career and what I was going to do for the rest of my life. I am 15 years old, so I have plenty of time (3 more years of high school) to finalize my choice.
I have a 3.9/4.0 GPA (depending on where you're from) and am taking AP Math and Science.

Why I want to be an accountant:

+Sounds good in conversation.
+Working in an office.
+Wear a nice suit and tie to work!
+Steady salary.
+Have an awesome business card that you hand to people!

> I was thinking about being an accountant for a few years, then take the CPA exam, Certified Public Accountant, and from then I would be able to make the big bucks. (Over 100k a year).

Air Traffic Controller:

+Lots of money. (40k starting, then after 2-4 years you can make over 80k)
+Different things everyday.
+Did I mention lots of money?
-Lots of stress and pressure.

Any advice on what I should pursue as my career?

Thanks! Happy

Working in an office really ain't a bonus man.
