Taking the Road Less Traveled: What a Career in Accounting Has Taught Me

Taking the Road Less Traveled: What a Career in Accounting Has Taught Me

Make a KSCPA Road Trip Part of Your Journey

Not to sound cliché, but life truly is a journey. While we set a destination both personally and professionally, it is rarely a linear path or goes as according to plan. There are distractions along the way that take us off course for right and wrong reasons. Course corrections from these pit stops often change the trajectory of our route. Some of us will override the correction and force ourselves to stay on course. Others will embrace the change and set their sites and expectations on a new destination. While a third group will gladly relinquish control, throw the map out and eagerly follow the trail of clues to see where destiny takes them. Enjoy a few of the many stories of the unexpected surprises that can be found in a career in accounting.

To make the most of your journey and the opportunities along the way:

  • Set a destination
  • Expect the unexpected
  • Be adaptable
  • Seek adventure (aka. get outside of your comfort zone)
  • Ask directions (aka. seek advice)
  • Embrace the journey as much or more than the destination
