To Finance or Not to Finance?

My supervisor/friend who got me into this accounting position has starting giving me lots of tips for how I can have a long and successful career in the world of finance. That's really cool and exciting and shit. The only snag is: do I *want* a long and successful career in finance? This shift from grunt newspaper graphic designer or occasional piano teacher/music director has been a very welcome boost to my personal finances and has allowed me to enjoy life in the big city, but is it something I want to invest into for the long term? Hm. It definitely lacks in the glamor department not to mention the artistic fulfillment department. If I can stave off the boredom (and accountant social stigma) continuing in accounting would indeed be a smart decision for my personal finances. The company I'm at has programs to assist with schooling/training, but maybe I should get some sense of how long I expect to be in this field before I jump into pursuing another degree or getting my decoder ring from Accounting Geeks Anonymous. Anyone have a lucky 8 ball or pocket psychic to help me decide?
