Interesting to see some of your perspectives - thanks everyone for sharing.
I guess I am pretty happy with my career choice (O&G accounting). Do I love my job? No. But I definitely don't dread it. More often than not I do enjoy it, but the monotony can get to me some times.
Overall I am thankful for the quality of life my career affords me as I am quite happy with where my life is right now. My job is low stress with very little overtime and the pay is ok, but it allows to live a pretty good lifestyle outside of work (which is somewhat supplemented by the girlfriend's much better paying career).
Obviously being in O&G the last little while has been tough, and like many it has made me question going into another field....but it has also made me be more thankful that I still have a job in this industry.
All in all, things are pretty ok. Which I guess I will take considering it could be a lot worse.
