Advise me on advisory

Today I attended an Interviews Seminar @ the Ernts & Young office, with Anselm. To sum it up in a few words, I was awestruck. Kinda like the feeling I got when i first toured the campus grounds of Melbourne Uni.

Seated at a spacious conference room on the 23rd floor, the view through the glass windows comprised of two-thirds of the sky (that's how high up we were). I've often been told that career seminars are pretty much homogenous and once you've been to one, there's no point going to another. It is true to a certain extent, I mean similar tips were given but one must not forget that it's kinda fun to see what your future workplace might be like and that never fails to inspire me to pursue a career. Did I mention there's free food?

To be honest, I have no clue which accounting department I would like to go under...Tax? Advisory? Auditing? I mean...how does one decide with limited work experience? The only thing I have to base my judgments on is my experience with the subject in uni. I doubt that's reliable at all. And we all know that most "rational" decisions aren't actually rational at all, we're pretty much an irrational species as much as we like to think otherwise. Heck, sometimes I think I might just do "Advisory" because I'm strangely inclined to that word.

Anyway, I've decided to do what a "rational human being" would do and...marry a rich old man. I kid :D

I'm going to take a day off (after my audit assignment) and do some research. For those of you who have work experience, do enlighten this humble student here. I would appreciate avoidance of "hah...so easy lah." or "how come you don't know?".
