Hello,
I've been working as an IT professional for about 5 years. I live in Florida. I have a Bachelor in Engineering and Master in Computer Science. However, I just don't find sense of fulfillment in software development. I took some career counseling tests online and talked to some people, I found my personality suits the accounting profession. I took some introductory online course on Coursea.org on accounting and I found I really enjoyed all the contents and comfortable with all the concepts. So now I plan about changing my career to Accounting.
Some people told me that in US in order to land an accounting job, I'll need to at least obtain a Bachelor degree in Accounting to begin with. However, I have already a bachelor and master degree. Do I still need to get another bachelor degree (even though it's totally unrelated to my degrees)? What about Master of Accounting? or even MBA in Accounting?
Please give me some good advice on what you think.
Thank you very much!
