Answer 14 :
an accountant, could never be a teacher, you have to have certain qualities to be a good teacher, such as endless patience, a passion for a subject and tolerant
Answer 15 :
Teacher, because I couldn't stand working with numbers all day long. Teachers impact (albeit positively or negatively)someone else's life every single day. I think there is also more creativity involved in being a teacher. A teacher is never bored doing his or her job and is not stuck to a desk all day.
Answer 16 :
If I really had to choose, I'll be a teacher, why? being an accountant, you need to deal with lousy clients but you can't scold them but being a teacher, you just need to deal with youngsters but the main reason why I want to be a teacher is, I love kids & I enjoy teaching !!!

teacher,cause it is said that accountant is rather a boring job,you have to deal with data all day long.teaching is quite different,it's a sublime occupation.by enlightening others,you may benefit a great deal yourself.Besides,teaching is a relatively stable career.you may get quick promotion if your professional quality is high.teachers are not likely to be fired.
Answer 21 :
Neither, though if I had to choose I'd rather be an accountant.
Answer 22 :
What age would you teach if you were a teacher. Two of my best friends are teachers but they have decided that they have had enough because of the amount of paper work they have to do. Both say they love teaching the children, but all the planning and the paperwork they have to do makes it tough and they don't like it as much as they used to. However I have some friends that are accountants and they love their jobs and they are about to start up their own businesses. So I'd say become an accountant
Answer 23 :
a teacher, itd be nice to spread knowledge
Answer 24 :
Neither really, but being asked on your behalf, I would choose teacher. I work for accountants, and I feel accounting is very boring. I feel a teacher would be more life fulfilling of a career and a bit more fun and challenging. :) Good Luck and i wish you the best.
Answer 25 :
That would have to be totally up to you and your likes/dislikes. I don't feel I'm good at being in charge and explaining things, and not good with people, so being a teacher wouldn't make sense for me. I'm better with paperwork and numbers, so the accountant job would be more practical for me. You have to list the pros and cons of each job (your opinions and desires included) and compare the two.
