Internal Opportunities

If you like accounting but are tiring of the public side, John Brausch, chair of the board of regents for the Institute of Certified Management Accountants, tells the Hartford Courant there are plenty of opportunities in management accounting.

The attraction: "Accountants in industry are much more concept-based than rules-based," he says. "Those who are certified earn about $10,000 more per year than their peers and, of course, longevity breeds higher salaries."
