Becoming An Accountant

I am a college student at Colorado State University and I am on my way to becoming an Accountant. Initially I went to school to become and engineer but I was drawn to the accounting bookkeeping school because of all that they had to offer and it seemed like a much better fit to me. My mom is a CPA and I will also be taking the test in the next few years to get my CPA as well.

Being a CPA is important because it allows companies to keep track of all their records and numbers. So by becoming an accountant complete with a CPA along with my degree I will be more useful to a company that needs an accountant who knows what they are doing. Specialized accountants are in demand these days because many companies in the business world need to be able to rely on a person good at keeping track of their money, different transactions, payments, and investments.

Another reason I am going along the path I am to get my degree is because I love to deal with money. My parents have always told me that I have a good head when it comes to dealing with money and I am smart about it, although I do not believe I do anything special or spectacular that everyone else could not handle money the same way.

I see finance in a way that was taught to me by my dad, who is a financial accountant, and learned all that I could from him at an early age. He would tell me different things he had learned over his years, which also included being a stock broker for a major company. By taking what he taught me and applying it to everyday life I was starting to be able to see that the world is run by money. People buy what they need and this can be either products or accounting bookkeeping services.

Normally the general public believes that they must go get a job because they need to buy products to have a good life. The way my dad taught me was to not see money this way but to see it as a way to not be trapped by what I thought I needed and to go for what I really needed.

So I got a job when I was 16 and starting to save up my money for what I really needed, an education. I believe that my dad taught me to get a good education and learn all that I can to know how the world works. I still follow his advice when I look towards graduating and getting a job for a company, hoping that I will always keep learning.
