Assumption:

Unlike the previous three Discussion Board questions, this one is more of a general nature. As we proceed through this course, you should be gaining more understanding about the different types of accounting and reporting activities used for various types of companies/industries. For example, there is accounting for service companies, merchandising companies, manufacturing companies (which is cost accounting not covered in this textbook), and governmental agencies (not covered in this course). As a result, a variety of job opportunities or job specialties exist including financial accounting, managerial accounting, tax accounting, forensic accounting, general accounting, cost accounting, and governmental accounting.

Questions:

Hypothetically, if you were seeking a job as an accountant, and were able to choose any type of company or job specialty, what would that job be and for what type of company/industry. Please explain your reasoning.

(Please note that you do not have to provide input on another student's input for this last discussion board, although you are certainly welcome to do so)
