Using LinkedIn or your personal or professional network, make contact with someone who works as an accountant at either a public accounting firm, government, or nonprofit to set up an interview. Ask the individual what his or her educational background is, what attracted the individual to the accounting profession, and what he or she does during a typical day. Prepare a brief report on your interview. Do you now want to learn more about the accounting profession? Are you more interested in possibly pursuing a career in accounting?
