We recommend accounting, and not only because it gives you the opportunity to join the Grow team in the future! 1. [Accounting is a job](https://grow.ee/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/page/raamatupidamine.md) that you can do **in any country**. If you can't say today whether you would like to stay in Estonia or live somewhere else in the future, then as an accountant you can get a job anywhere in the world. It is also easier to overcome the problem of not knowing the local language than in many other professions, because the terms and international standards are familiar. 2. Accounting can also be done in a home office, a summer house, during a small child's nap, late at night - this job is **very flexible in terms of both place and time**. If you think that you would not like to raise children alone at home for years or would like to work a schedule of your own choosing and with a moderate workload so that you have time for other activities, then accounting is a very reasonable choice. It is also worth considering that accounting is a seasonal job – the end of the month and year are usually calmer times, there is more work before the reporting and payment dates (the 10th and 20th of the month), so it is easy to set a pace that leaves time to deal with other things. 3. [Accountant needed](https://grow.ee/blogi/raamatupidaja-ettevotja-edulugu/) **both in the private and public sectors**, the doors of all fields of activity are open to you. It is true that work culture, customs and requirements are very different in different sectors and fields of activity, but an accountant does not need to fear that he will at some point find himself in a situation where the job is not suitable or enjoyable at all. Even in smaller places, where employers can sometimes be counted on the fingers of two hands, an accountant can be sure that there will still be professional work for him there. 4. Accounting offers ongoing **mental challenges**. It is no longer a job that requires dull patience to enter numbers into a computer, day after day in the same way. [Accounting software ](/?p=4605) is developing very quickly, routine work is done by special computer programs, but the accountant's task is increasingly to analyze and advise management. Employers say that today's young people value work that allows them to develop and also leaves time for hobbies outside the office. From this perspective, accounting is exactly the right profession for today's young people.
