so i didnt read all the above but from what i have found with working doesnt really matter if you like it, work is just that work its a key to provide you the things in life you actually want/want to do regardless your going to have to work may as well make alot doing it.
i often find myself thinking the way you have posted emsta but at 23 going on 24 and earning six figures for the last 4 years without going to uni etc how else would i get the same income and luxuries that my income can provide? its impossible so im stuck doing something im moderatly happy with these days but i offset the dissapointment through the income it provides.
so id say stick out cpa it'll take you a long way and let the contacts and money you earn along the way be your satisfaction not the work itsself.
if your gunna hate work may as well hate it from within your big house in a nice street with decent cars in the garage, you will end up hating whatever you do, cos lifes a bitch
