So a few months ago I finally decided that I wanna do accounting for life. I even prayed to God and asked if it is the right job for me. Well, I landed an accounting job and now I don’t know if I’m really into it or not.

The job I’m working at right now is a little tougher than other accounting jobs I’ve had. First of all, it’s because they don’t provide training, so everything I have to do I learn by myself. This is the one thing that makes me wonder whether I really like doing accounting or not. When I used to do web design/html programming, they don’t train me how to program or how to design, they just gave me some pointers and told me to do it. And it was actually very fun trying to figure out how to do it. Then, why isn’t it the same as accounting? I hate figuring out anything to do with accounting. My mom even had to come to help me on Sundays.

The reason why I was considering accounting: my mom. She’s been very influential in my life… whether it’s my major, my job, the school I go to, etc. Of course she says I can do whatever I want, except with a little bit of push here and there about certain things, like accounting. So, I guess right now I’m just a pushover who don’t really know what I wanna do. Not that I blame her for my situation. It’s just sad, cos I’m turning 23 this year. Most people that age have already figured out what they want to do, but I haven’t.

So right now, I’ve been thinking about going back into websites. Just trying to figure out whether it would be designing or programming. Tough choice. I love both. But at this point, I’m too scared to start over again. What if I actually really like accounting?
