I am passionate about technology don't get me wrong. It's just hard to keep up with technology rapidly changing. I do like the changes though. I am just wondering about layoffs when I am 50. I'm thinking they will replace me with a younger person that is cheaper for the company or even outsourcing my job which is worse. Also who knows what new programming languages will be like in ten years from now?

I am intrigued by Accounting. I can see myself retiring from a company that I have been at for a very long time. There are also many different fields of Accounting I can apply it to. Also every company needs an Accountant. It's more stable than the I.T. field.

I don't want to be "rich" just comfortable. If someone here is an Accountant or a I.T. guy please give me some advice. Thank you.

Accounting is over saturated and full of curries and chinks. They are churning those tards out at a ridiculous rate.

It's all behind the curve. Programming is very viable if you are good at it and can actually talk to people.

Oddly enough that is the best preparation for starting your own business I can think of. Numbers are easy, understanding humanity is hard.

Let me add to this. Education is a sleazy industry based on loans and empty promises. How else do you explain cow colleges like UNR offering MBA's?

There is a book out there that talks about this, the title is "worthless"

I thought Accountants were in demand?

What would you recommend?

Working at a high level in Excel or with an ERP system is basically programming anyway

Either one is fine, but you shouldn't actually have a long-term career as a programmer or accountant.

Stack you credentials in a way that very few people can compete against you.
