Career Goal I Have Always

Career Goal

I have always enjoyed numbers, even as a little girl. All my friends always came to me to get advice about their Mathematics homework and, in later years, their accounting papers. For me, numbers are a type of art; they speak to me. For this reason, I entered college with the aim of majoring in accounting. I have achieved this goal and am looking forward to also achieving my goal in terms of getting my CPA license and starting my own accounting business. Of course, this path will not be an easy one and there will be challenges to face along the way. I do, however, believe that if I keep my eye on my goal and work towards it, even with obstacles in my way, I will be able to achieve my goal and make a better life for my family and myself.

One of the challenges I will face along the way is employment. I currently have a part-time job as a junior accountant at a bookstore. I took this work in order to help me pay form my tuition. Although my father does help with my expenses, he cannot cover all the costs of my studies and accommodation. There are also textbooks and transport to think about, in addition to my daily needs such as food and my monthly expenses such as rent. While it helps greatly to have a part-time job, this is challenging to my energy levels and my ability to put time into my studies.

On the other hand, having these responsibilities throughout my college career is teaching me valuable lessons about time management and responsibility. I am able to prioritize my work and social life in such a way that I can, mostly, find enough time for my studies and assignments as well. Some days are more difficult than others, but this in itself is helping me to cope with the many challenges I will face on the way to my ultimate goal.

One way to overcome these challenges is to have a specific plan in place. My first goal is then to finish my college degree with as high an achievement as possible. While I do this, I will also do all I can to learn as much as I can from my current accounting job. Once I have finished college, I will look for a junior position at an accounting firm. With my accounting job experience and good achievements, I am confident that I have good prospects. Once I have been hired, I will prove myself by delivering an excellent service. My hope is that the firm that hires me will offer advancement opportunities, towards which I will then work.

Once I have about one or two years of experience, it is my aim to start learning what I can about getting my CPA license and starting a business. Once I have my license, I will start a small business while I am still employed. This will ensure that I still have the security of my job income while I work on building my business.
