Lots of accountants out of work.
Lots of freelance accountants doing real cool things for under that table money.
Corporations looking for real saavy accountants to play with 'everything'

Lot of secretaries looking for work at cheap prices (male and female)

You will probably be using hacked free software to run your business.
You will be working out of a small office or your rental apartment.

You will drink a lot.

my guess

You're asking others to do your homework... in other words, to bail you out? That's your trend right there. A behavior that's reinforced continues. If it's financially incentivized, it escalates. There is no accounting in Bailout America.

Only 500 words? That's nothing! Good grief, do your own work and earn your degree. Don't expect anyone else to do it for you; that's just lazy and it's unethical as well.

I'll help you out - the SEC recently agreed that we should all switch from GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) to the international accounting standards. This will help facilitate globalized investing but will also create hardships for companies who have their book values determined by one standard and now must switch, not to mention the training and administrative nightmare. Here's a story to cite:

Three key areas:

IFRS - international accounting standards
XBRL - extended financial reporting
Fair Value (or Mark to Market) accounting.

Build your essay around these three areas and google for material.
