Question about career in taxation

I work as a data entry worker and what I do is enter information into the computer quickly to meet the production standard. I am am slow typing in information and I am saying all of this is because when it comes to work with tax forms do I need to fill them out quickly? I heard that tax professionals work long hours and they have to file a lot of tax forms which takes them too long. If I become a tax professional do I need to fill out the tax forms quickly?

Thanks,

Jorge

Dear Jorge,

Honestly, I don't know. I have never been a tax professional nor do I know the intricacies of daily tasks. Perhaps you can find a tax professional in your geographical area and do an informational interview? This is a great way to learn about a job, its career path, and the best course of action for you to make the change into the job.
