• Basically all the job postings include some form of Analyst , the one that stood out to me was for a company called Noble Drilling. I like the job because it offers an intro into the oil and gas field which I have always wanted to work in. Also it is a local company not nationally known which means a relocation would be a very slim chance unless the whole company moved which is very nice also, and it pays very well.
• I selected this career as it stood out to me as I like to investigate information a lot, and I plan on obtaining a CPA. It and CPA have so much in common evaluating information its basically to me just like a CPA but in the computer world of careers. As of right now I am not pursing the career, but eventually after I have been working with my CPA degree I could see it being a possibility to obtain.
