It depends on what YOUR definition of rewarding is. Admittedly, it is tedious to study for at times (lots of numbers, memorization of accounting rules, and so on). But as a profession, I consider it is quite rewarding. The spend is great, demand for accountants is growing, and the career path makes it possible for for professional growth and growing responsibilities. You genuinely have a chance to make a distinction. Look at the current economic meltdown. Some of it could have been avoided if correct accounting procedures had been followed at the banks with issues like gains on securitization.
