I am mid thirties and I currently earn about £50k in a media-ish profession. Although there are parts of the job I enjoy it isn't a challenge and there is no clear route to progression.
I am considering a career change and want a career that will give me stability, clearer career progression, the ability to earn decent money and potentially work in more diverse organisations.
I was thinking accounting. I have a first class degree from a top university in an unrelated subject. I was considering graduate schemes (a bit late as most seem to have closed for the year). But lots of talk online is about how hard studying is, how dull the job is (lots of audit positions) and the long hours and travel.
I have enjoyed the budgeting and financial elements of my current role and quite like processes and structures.
I was wondering is anyone had any accountancy experience or wisdom they might share.
