- Accountants remains in demand even when the economy takes a tumble. (In fact, you might even flourish because of it)

Job Culture
Many firms in India offer compensation for young professionals like you.
Companies are always looking to hire part-time accountants while you study to advance your skills.
You are expected to combine work and study at the onset of your career.
Is becoming an Accountant Difficult?
The more reasonable question to ask is whether or not accounting is difficult for you. For those who hate numbers, struggle with following procedure, and are not detail-oriented, accounting is tremendously challenging. But for those with an aptitude for maths and a close eye for detail, being an Accountant is easy. The career is procedural and rigidly regulated, so that once you learn the methods for crunching numbers, the work itself follows quite simply.
How can I be good at it?
Good accountants must be able to communicate complex financial data and business projections clearly and concisely. While you might imagine an accountant working in a cubicle in isolation all day, the truth is that accountants are often called upon to give presentations, lead teams, and work closely with many other departments in their company. So accountants need to be outgoing and well spoken.
