13. I’m an extremely organized, goal-
oriented person.
I’m pretty decent at math, and I like to
think I work well with other people
14. Because of these things, my strongest
Holland groups were
Conventional, Social, and Investigative
15. This basically says that I learn best
when presented with concrete steps
and facts that I can write down, and
when I am given the opportunity to
learn by doing as well as observing.
16. I think I would best suit a job where I
could work both independently and
with others, indoors with stable
daytime work hours.
17. Because of all these things, and the
fact that I think I would fit well in an
office setting, I think I would make a
pretty decent accountant.
18. It’s a stable job that’s always in
demand, and involves working both
independently and with coworkers and
clients. The fact that I’m organized
and good at math doesn’t hurt, either.
19. Since accountants are needed for
every business, they are always in
demand.
The average salary for a full-time
accountant is $66,000 a year, which is
not bad at all!
21. Through BCIT or SFU it takes at least 4
years to get a Bachelor of Business
Administration in Accounting, and
that’s just the start.
22. After the Bachelors degree, I will have
to complete a training program that
has been approved by the Society of
Certified General Accountants, which
involves several years of on-the-job
training. Only after doing all this (so at
least 6 years later), will I become
officially certified as a CGA… It’ll
eventually be worth it
23. Wherever I end upin the
future, the most important
thing to me is that I stay close
to my family…
24. …and my best friend, who are the
most important people in my life
26. and find a decent-paying job to
support me through college (being
supervisor at Dairy Queen isn’t exactly
cutting it).
27. In the years to come I hope to become
a successful and independent
person, who’s financially stable with a
great social life. Even though that’s
pretty far down the line, I think I’ve got
a fairly good start.
