What do accountants do daily?

[silverglade]

Hi, I was thinking about majoring in Accounting in college, and then becoming an accountant. I will be trying to interview some accountants in the next few weeks to see what they do daily. But I figured I would ask here as well.

What do accountants do daily? Are there a lot of phone calls all day? I was hoping to not have phone calls all day. I was also hoping not to type as much as data entry people do. But any other information greatly appreciated. Thank you!
