Accounting. 2.75 classes until my BA though, that'll be in August. Then I'll go find a job in some other completely unrelated field and start working on another degree.

Started in Accounting (got bored), then to Education (realized I don't like kids), then to History (realized only use is for Law, editing, or teaching), back to Accounting (got bored again), to Finance (wasn't feeling it) and ended with General Business, with emphasis in HR (by this point I just had to get a degree and get out!). laugh

Ok...technically I stared in Journalism (got pregnant), went to Education (went to a career fair and saw the starting salary for a teacher in our state and considered my recent substitute teaching encounters) and then changed to Accounting.

Business Administration.

I do know how I ended up in compliance, a simple call and a bunch of luck that the previous guy was about to leave the bank. Got this job 2 months out of college, I was completely lost and had minimal idea of what compliance was all about.

I should have gone to law school instead…
