Why did I choose accounting?
Pros: The major pro of working here is the variety of opportunities you'll have when you leave. You won't be fired unless you're super rude and/or lazy and the work is so easy at an associate level that it's pretty hard to be bad at this job.
Cons: You'll be eating unhealthy take-out food in front of your computer for at least 3 months out of the year, getting no exercise, and getting more depressed every day. It's inevitable that you will hate everyone around you after 13+ hours a day for seven days (add more hours per day if your team takes Sundays off). As an associate you will be doing some of the most mindless work on the planet. Your friends in finance will be making double your salary and going home before you (that is if you still have any friends after months with no contact with the outside world). For some reason it's a competition of who can stay the latest and I don't want to play that game anymore.
