OK, so we all like money, but do you enjoy working with it? Perhaps you do your mom's taxes for her every year, or maybe you wish every day at school were math class? In which case, accountancy could be the career path for you. Accountants work for businesses, in accountancy firms, and for individuals, and they do everything from taxes to budgeting to bookkeeping.

Anything that involves advertising a product and selling it to the public or a company is marketing. Ever seen an advertisement that blew your mind? Maybe you should work in advertising. Interested in why people buy certain things and what makes them do it? Maybe you're a born Market Analyst. There are loads of exciting marketing careers, in areas such as advertising, sales management, customer service representative and public relations. If you're imaginative, enthusiastic, and enjoy working really hard on something that you're passionate about, then maybe you could be working on the next ad that everyone's talking about round the water cooler.
