Is bookkeeping still a viable career in the short term? I'm starting a bachelors in accounting and wondering if I would be able to start a small bookkeeping business to pay for it rather than continuing to deliver pizzas. I hate my current job and the fact that I'm not developing any relevant skills through it.
What's the best way to determine the demand for bookkeeping services in my area?

How will that answer my question?
I don't think it is because the small companies that need the service don't want to pay for it or they hire someone for $12 an hour.
I'm currently doing a bachelor in tax law, 60% already dropped out, that's how boring it is.

Yeah it's definitely worth it. You can get very good money as an accountant, plus accountancy is the language of business therefore it's very useful to learn if you are interested in investing as you will be able to understand the performance of companies you are looking to invest in.
I don't know exactly where you are but here in the UK you would have to do a degree and then finish a qualification with the ACCA, CIMA or ACA which would make you a chartered accountant, although the accountancy/finance degree would give you a lot of exemptions from the course. I work in the Finance department of an insurance company and a lot of the accountants here got started that way and most are on £40000+ some on over double that in their early thirties.
