The world always needs accountants , that will never change, good luck to you.

I would take some $$$ and put it to work in the mkt, get yourself a roth ira, great for young people , the gov't has created an incentive to fund these things , earnings are tax free if you leave the $$$ in there for a certain # of years, and the withdrawls would be tax -free when you are in retirement age---if you can do well at the track the mkt s/b a piece of cake for you
