ACCOUNTING

What Accountants and Auditors Do:

Accountants and auditors prepare and exam-

ine financial records. They ensure that finan-

cial records are accurate and that taxes are

paid properly and on time. Accountants and

auditors assess financial operations and

work to help ensure that organizations run

efficiently.

Work Environment Most accountants

and auditors work full time. In 2014, about 1

in 5 worked more than 40 hours per week.

Longer hours are typical at certain times of

the year, such as at the end of the budget

year or during tax season.

How to Become an Accountant or

Auditor Most employers require a candi-

date to have a bachelor’s degree in account-

ing or a related field. Certification within a

specific field of accounting improves job

prospects. For example, many accountants

become Certified Public Accountants (CPAs).

Pay The median annual wage for account-

ants and auditors was $65,940 in May 2014.

Job Outlook Employment of accountants

and auditors is projected to grow 11 percent

from 2014 to 2024, about as fast as the av-

erage for all occupations. In general, em-

ployment growth of accountants and audi-

tors is expected to be closely tied to the

health of the overall economy. As the econ-

omy grows, these workers will continue to

be needed to prepare and examine finan-

cial records.

ernment agencies, and other organizations. They contact customers, explain product

features, answer any questions that their

customers may have, and negotiate prices.

Work Environment: Sales representa-

tives work under pressure because their in-

come and job security depend on the

amount of merchandise they sell. Some sales representatives travel frequently.

How to Become a Sales Represen-tative: Educational requirements vary for

sales representatives and depend on the type of product sold. If the products are not

scientific or technical, a high school diploma is generally enough for entry into the occu-

pation. If the products are scientific or tech-

nical, sales representatives typically need at least a bachelor's degree.

Pay: The median annual wage for whole-

sale and manufacturing sales representatives

was $58,380 in May 2014.

Job Outlook: Employment of sales repre-

sentatives is projected to grow 7 percent from 2014 to 2024, about as fast as the av-

pendent agencies.

demanding. Many work evenings, weekends, or holidays.

tered, licensed, or certified, depending on the requirements of the state in which they

nary technologists and technicians was $31,070 in May 2014.

Job Outlook: Employment of veterinary

technologists and technicians is projected to

grow 19 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations.

utilize technicians and technologists to do general care and lab work, and as they con-

tinue to replace lower skilled veterinary as-sistants.

How to Become an Automotive Service Technician or Mechanic: A

high school diploma or the equivalent is typi-cally the minimum requirement to work as

an automotive service technician or me-

chanic. Because automotive technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated, some

employers prefer automotive service techni-cians and mechanics who have completed a

formal training program in a postsecondary

institution. Industry certification usually is required once the person is employed. Pay: The median annual wage for automo-

tive service technicians and mechanics was

$37,120 in May 2014.

service technicians and mechanics is pro-

jected to grow 5 percent from 2014 to 2024,

Work Environment: HVACR technicians

work mostly in homes, schools, hospitals,

office buildings, or factories. Their worksites may be very hot or cold because the heating

and cooling systems they must repair may

not be working properly and because some parts of these systems are located outdoors.

Working in cramped spaces and during ir-regular hours is common.

How to Become a Heating, Air Con-ditioning, and Refrigeration Me-

chanics and Installers : Because

HVACR systems have become increasingly complex, employers generally prefer appli-

cants with postsecondary education or those who have completed an apprenticeship.

Some states and localities require techni-

air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics

and installers was $44,630 in May 2014.
