It is always needed, even in a recession, and can be started with very low overhead-if you don't count my college education(!) I'm encouraging my number-oriented 17 yo dd to study accounting because it is such a flexible career. She has seen how my home-based business has grown as she has grown up, allowing me to stay at home, homeschool and still earn money! And accountants are in demand because there is a CPA shortage. Starting salaries are about $44,000/year right out of college! Thanks for the post and food for thought!
