俗话说“三百六十行，行行出状元”，工、农、商、学，各大行业类别中，你确定的人生核心目标是什么呢？?
成为百万富翁、千万富翁，做一名出色的商人？?
成为大学教授、出色的研究员？?
成为一名高收入的白领专业人员？?
成为一名有为的社会工作者？政府官员？?
成为一名技术蓝领？成为农场主？?
……?
如果你不知道自己的方向，你就会谨小慎微，裹足不前。如果没有方向，那么你的人生计划也一样混乱无章！
?
不少人终生都像梦游者一样，漫无目标地游荡。他们每天都按熟悉的“老一套”生活，从来不问自己：“我这一生要干什么?”他们对自己的作为不甚了了，因为他们缺少目标。?
曾经看到这样一个故事，唐太宗贞观年间，长安城西的一家磨坊里，有一匹马和一头驴子。它们是好朋友，马在外面拉东西，驴子在屋里推磨。贞观三年，这匹马被玄奘大师选中，出发经西域前往印度取经。?
17年后，这匹马驮着佛经回到长安。它重到磨坊会见驴子朋友。老马谈起这次旅途的经历：浩瀚无边的沙漠，高入云霄的山岭，凌峰的冰雪，热海的波澜……那些神话般的境界，使驴子听了极为惊异。驴子惊叹道：“你有多么丰富的见闻啊！那么遥远的道路，我连想都不敢想。”老马说：“其实，我们跨过的距离是大体相等的，当我向西域前行的时候，你一步也没停止。不同的是，我同玄奘大师有一个遥远的目标，按照始终如一的方向前进，所以我们打开了一个广阔的世界。而你被蒙住了眼睛，一生就围着磨盘打转，所以永远也走不出这个狭隘的天地。”?
杰出人士与平庸之辈最根本的差别，并不在于天赋，也不在于机遇，而在于有无人生目标！就像那匹老马与驴子，当老马始终如一地向西天前进时，驴子只是围着磨盘打转。尽管驴子一生所跨出的步子与老马相差无几，可因为缺乏目标，它的一生始终走不出那个狭隘的天地。?

出国留学其实是实现人生目标的一个途径或者说是一个经历。有能力出国的学生都应该考虑一个人生的核心目标问题。其实杰出人士与平庸之辈的根本差别并不是天赋、机遇，而在于有无目标。很多到澳洲留学的朋友，特别是有一些工作经验的，尤其有这样忧患意识，整天在国内一家单位工作，多少缺乏认识世界的机遇，大胆走出国门，即使没有成功也不后悔，因为他们认识了世界，知道自己未来可以做啥，应该做啥，丰富的人生阅历将是未来成功的基石！
有人说，一个人无论现在年龄有多大，他真正的人生之旅，都是从设定目标的那一天开始的。以前的日子，不过是在绕圈子而已。这就好似一个故事，说的是西撒哈拉沙漠中的旅游胜地——比赛尔。在很久以前，比赛尔是一个只能进、不能出的贫瘠地方。在一望无际的沙漠里，一个人如果凭着感觉往前走，他只会走出许多大小不一的圆圈，最后的足迹十有八九是一把卷尺的形状。因为人们没有认识到这一点，所以他们一直都没走出去过。后来，一位青年出现了，他发现比赛尔四处都是沙漠，一点可以参照的东西也没有，于是，他找到了北斗星，在北斗星的指引下，他成功地走出了大漠。这位青年人于是成了比赛尔的开拓者，他的铜像被竖在小城的中央。铜像的底座上刻着一行字：新生活是从选定方向开始的。?

“新生活是从选定方向开始的。”你的生活目标选定了吗？? 你生活中的北斗星在哪里？?

我摘录几种最流行的。

首先是关于会计的详细描述：

Chartered AccountingA qualification in accounting opens the door to great opportunities and a huge variety of business careers. In fact, it offers more potential than most other professions.
Finance professionals with an accounting qualification hold key positions across all sectors of industry and commerce. They work in the entertainment industry, the arts, defence and police forces, the health industry, charities, welfare organisations and education. They work in all aspects of government administration from local to federal level.
Today's accountant is also a pacesetter in rapidly growing areas of business such as information management and technology, financial planning and business advice.
The accounting profession has seen a fundamental shift towards a wide-ranging advisory role. The traditional image of an accountant was one of 'number cruncher'. This is no longer the case, with most accountants taking on a much more complex role within organisations - which sees them as providers of business management information rather than purely financial information. Improved technology is enabling accountants to automate the more mundane tasks, allowing them time to develop their skills and further their knowledge in all areas of business.
Along with CEOs and major business unit directors, the top management teams in modern commercial organisations typically include accountants. Accountants often play a key role in the development of strategic business plans, facilitating major change within an organisation.
This role change has lead to a broadening of tertiary accounting courses. Universities are now offering courses that transcend traditional technical accounting subjects in favour of areas such as economics, marketing, information technology or organisational behaviour.
The accountant of today must be equipped to become a comprehensive business adviser not just a 'number cruncher'.
Opportunities for Accounting Graduates
When you ask most people "What is an accountant?" they think of someone who works out profit and loss statements, balances the books and does complicated tax returns and audits. Of course that's still an essential part of some accountancy jobs. But the reality for today's accountants is much wider than that.
Today, your career as a finance professional could include any of these choices:

public practice (providing accounting services to clients)
strategic business planning
cost and management accounting
stockbroking
auditing
treasury
taxation
information systems
mergers, acquisitions and corporate reconstructions
foreign exchange
financial planning
superannuation
manufacturing management
corporate planning
insurance
business consulting
insolvency and reconstruction
management consulting

Getting the Right Education
The first step on the path to becoming a qualified Accountant is to successfully complete an accredited tertiary course. You can choose from around 50 different tertiary institutions right round Australia. Students may be able to convert from other disciplines by successfully completing accredited postgraduate conversion courses which cover the minimum core of knowledge required to continue your studies.
Following completion of your tertiary course, you will be required to undertake further accreditation through either the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) or CPA Australia.
Different Accounting bodies in Australia
In Australia there are a number of accounting bodies. The two largest, the ICAA and CPA Australia, both require their members to be degree qualified and also to undertake postgraduate qualifications. Members of both organisations are found across the breadth of the business world, from industry and commerce, public practice and the public sector to government organisations and academia. Both designations are globally recognised.
What is a Chartered Accountant (CA)?
CAs are university graduates who, after completing their degree, are required to pass a postgraduate program, the CA Program and also complete a three-year period of approved practical experience mentored by a Chartered Accountant. CAs can choose to work in different environments depending on their own skills and preferences. They can choose to work in large firms, small public practices, industry, government or education. Many also set up their own businesses.
Have a look at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia website - www.charteredaccountants.com.au/students which has been developed to help students into a career as a chartered accountant.
To read more about careers for Chartered Accountants, download the booklet Careers in Chartered Accounting below.
Chartered Accounting
What is a CPA?
A CPA is a finance, accounting and business professional with a specific qualification who has completed the CPA program, a comprehensive postgraduate professional study program and had three years supervised or mentored experience in finance, accounting or business.
To read more about careers in accounting and finance, visit the CPA Australia careers website at www.cpacareers.com.au .
Other Information
Career View on Accounting is part of the Career View series produced by the Careers Advisory Service at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. While the booklet was originally developed for a New Zealand audience, we believe that graduates in Australia will also find the information within it relevant and useful.

My Choice:

Social Science Research: According to the Oxford English Dictionary social science is ‘the scientific study of human society and social relationships.’ Typical areas for research include ethnicity and gender, employment and leisure, recreation & tourism, population health, lifestyle & well-being. Social science research is the gathering and analysis of this social data using scientific methods. Research methods can be classified in various ways and one of the most common, although increasingly blurred, distinctions is between qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Quantitative research methods are distinguished from qualitative research methods by their emphasis upon the use of mathematical and statistical techniques in gathering, analysing, interpreting and reporting upon, research data.They originally developed in the natural sciences to study natural phenomena. Examples of quantitative methods now well accepted in the social sciences include surveys and laboratory experiments.
Qualitative research methods are typically non numericaland were developed in the social sciences to enable researchers to study social and cultural phenomena. Examples of qualitative methods are in-depth interviews and questionnaires, the analysis of documents and texts, and value being placed upon the researcher's impressions and reactions and research results in the form of narrative description. Increasingly, researchers arerequired to use more than one method in a study.
Where do Social ScienceResearchers Work?
Social science researchers are employed in arange of central government departments, Library, Internal Affairs, Parliamentary Services, and in government ministries including the Ministries of Transport, Health, Education,Justice and Social Development. They are also employed in local government, NGOs (nongovernmentorganisations) and related organisations.
Social science researchers also work in the private sector, in market research, broadcasting, management consultancy, banking and insurance. Experienced researchers often work independently as consultants. Some choose to have academic careers – as university lecturers and researchers.
What Do Social Science Researchers Do?
Researchers often work as evaluators, policy analysts or advisory officers in government departments. Research, however, is only one component of a wide job brief. Advisory work tends to focus on developing policy, providing advice to the Minister and monitoring and evaluating policy implementation, impact and outcomes.
