Will you be taking on a more senior position in the next five years? I'm current working as an engineer but am planning to make a career switch into banking in the near-term. What about you? Could you share your career goals here?

I'm currently an accountant working at a Government Agency. I'm also studying Law but it's summer vacation here so I'm enjoying my time here in Mylot. If all goes well with my studies, I see myself as a lawyer in the near future (I really hope so).

My current occupation is a lot of independent contracting stuff. Mylot, online surveys mystery shopping. whatever i can do without actually have a 9 to 5 job. I hate working for others.

I feel the same way about working for others. I felt alive when I had a part-time venture. It felt good when you know that your own efforts affect you directly. However, in recent years, I've found myself leaning towards the finance sector. Thanks for sharing!
