My Future Career

Since the beginning of this semester I have began to think long and hard on what it is that I truly would like to do with the rest of my life. I have always been enthralled with law enforcement and also with accounting. Reading through the assignment that was given helped me realize that I would be able to bring the two together. For the moment doing accounting work for the FBI or ATF seems like a very exciting career choice.

LDSBC does offer an Accounting Certificate which will indeed help me on my way in getting my CPA. I will also be able to take many courses in Information Systems that will give me an edge over most in the practical involvement of technology in real world environments. 

The IT skills that I will need to acquire will be to have a great understanding in Accounting Information Systems, Database Management and Design, Spreadsheet Modeling, Network Security, and learn how to do extensive research. 

I like to travel and would be willing to go anywhere the government would like to send me. Searching on Monster.com, the most promising job that I was able to find was in Vienna, VA working for the Department of Treasury, Financial Crimes Division as a Information Technology Specialist. The salary ranges from $80,000 to $120,000. However I would have had to work for the government already in previous positions to obtain this job for the Department of Treasury. It seems that the job that I am looking for is not readily available on Monster.com and that I would need to go directly to the FBI or ATF websites and check for openings. 

I am sure as I continue to develop my skills, and learn more about various fields of work, I will have a better idea what it is that I would like to do for a career.
