A switch from medicine to accounting
[This is a guest post]
Hi,
I graduated from medical school but did a complete 180 degree change and decided to pursue accounting instead. I have an undergraduate business degree and in college I liked accounting. I’m still searching for that 1st accounting job. I’ve been working on this career switch for a year. I was very unhappy before and knew I had to make a change. I know in the long run I’ll be happy with my decision, but right now the road is a bit rough. I’m looking around for people like me. People with medical backgrounds who are now pursuing something totally different. Thank you for your website!

Philippa’s question for the readers:
How many of you have made a move into a very different area from medicine? What has that move been like for you?
I moved from family medicine via medical administration and the Internet start-up world to that of business coaching, and every move has made me happier and happier. It’s as if I have been sculpting my career, and each move has sliced away the parts that I haven’t liked and replaced them with work that brings me increasing joy.
