i want an EASY JOB 7/10/2005 4:31PM Reply | Return to Index | Report Post
I have a masters degree in accounting but i hate my job. Some may call it a desire to be lazy, others could see it as just not having a passion for what I'm doing which makes it suck. I call it a little of both. I mean I can work hard at something when I'm focused and goal-oriented with it. But this stuff..how can you possibly be passionate about saving a yuppies a few thousand bucks ya know?

What I need is a new profession. If I can use my accounting degrees then great.

Things I've thought of: teaching high school, teaching college (might require a phD), becoming an athletic director (the one at my college was a cpa originally but i have no clue how i'd go about it). At the moment I really have no other ideas.

Any ideas?

Just become an investment banker. You might be at the office 100 hours a week, but best I can tell you won't have to do squat but pick up a fat bonus every December.

I have a state job as an Accounting Technician II. Our standard state workweek is 37.5 hours (7.5 hrs/day), Monday through Friday. It's an easy desk job and very satisfying. I won't make the big bucks, but can make a comfortable living at it. The benefits are great as well.

Good luck.

I work at computer hardware company and basically reboot servers and troubleshoot server related issues. I rarely work more than 40hrs. I make 60K. It is a no brainer if you know the basics of computer hardware.

Go work for the government. Generally you just punch a clock and look for the next big government holiday. EZ work too- now the bad thing is that you won't make a lot of cash. But hey, you don't work hard, so you really can't expect that right?

Things that someone needs to make:

Windows software that doesn't suck
SUVs that don't need gas
pills that make men look like Brad Pitt
pills that make women look like Alicia Silverstone
recreational drugs that aren't addictive
a cure for hangovers
crops that can grow without irrigation

It would be well worth the time spent if you could invent any of these.

Try operations planning at a manufacturing plant. Ideally a shitty furniture manufacturing place.

I know where your coming from. I got involved in this sort of thing and days/weeks/months flew past. Your basically planning what goes where and how in a factory, all about orgaisation working with people, planning and most of all using you initiative, coming up with new ideas, changing existing structures of processes/people etc.

The reason i say furniture manufacturing is becasue alot of the industry has big room for improvment, unlike automobile and aircraft which are ultra efficiant alot of the time.

Just an idea.

Take note, if you are a white person you will have to be very proactive in contacting recruitment officers. They can be found in inner city malls. Too bad you already have college paid for.
