THE REQUIREMENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES IN INDUSTRY FOR STUDENTS OF ACCOUNTING.
Business leaders are beginning to realize that it is just as important to have highly trained accounting technicians on their accounting staffs as it is to have lawyers on their legal staffs and engineers on their engineering staffs. These business leaders have learned through costly audits, system installations, federal tax assessments, and the like, that the old type "bookkeeper" who knew little more than a debit from a credit was, despite his low salary, a costly investment. They have found that their business will fail to prosper as it should unless their accountants can grow with it, assume new responsibilities, revise systems to meet operations, and help guide the business through the intricacies of modern government taxation and regulation. The disadvantages of a small concern are usually the advantages of a large one, and vice versa. In the large firm, probably a comparatively greater number of well paid accounting and other positions are open to the accountant there is theoretically no job ceiling below the president and there is a much broader field of business activity in which to acquire experience.
