I hate my job in accounting and I am looking for a career change but I don't know what I want to actually do

Anyone got advice? I want to be good at something

I assume US citizen/resident.

Nurse practioner is pretty good nowadays, nice tradeoff effort and pay/benefits. Electrical engineering is nice and very high job security, you get to do some programming, manual work etc. Welder is a very good blue-collar job.

Well, if you are already in accounting/corporate finance, look into RPA and business process automation. Maybe learn something like BluePrism, VBA and Python. Accounting is being heavily automated so you might as well use it as an opportunity to transition.

would forggot most important thing is to charge additionality for fixing stuff on your websites later on if customers are unhappy just tell them they said they wanted it the way you did it
and take 1/2 1/3 down payment, and only put it on temporally on your server when "finished"

Well from working in architecture my advice is if you do make a career change do not mix your work with your hobby. You'll end up disliking that hobby because it will remind you of work.

If you're good with maths maybe something statistics related? Probably tally up what you like about work and what you don't like and find something that has most of the positives and a minimal amounts of negatives

Why don't you do something like a financial tester? Good stepping stone to transfer to the IT workfield. Pays a lot more and a lot less stressfull.

stop doing accounting for small shitty businesses. get a job at corporate HQ of a publicly traded company. the role is much more defined, you have better resources (ERP system) and controls to ensure accounts don't get hopelessly fucked, and you have actual career growth.
