Who looks at accounting as a sexy profession?
During a booming economy, not many people do. But when the economy tanks, well...everyone knows you can get a job if you have an accounting degree.
In fact, accountants are more and more in demand. How has accounting changed in the last few years? Why is there a shortage? And what makes a top-dollar accountant, anyway?
