I want to either do accounting or nursing (Im a guy btw). Which should I go for? I've heard the whole bunch of options of nursing means I can travel around US cities on 13 week contracts, get paid 25-30k net and relax for a bit before doing it over in another city. Or accounting, which admittably is less bloody and healthcare related, can get a comfy living with a CPA, but has downsides (60+ early career hours, boring?).
What should I do

What do you like to work at?

accounting is only boring imo if you arent interested (like everything, but you cant brute force yourself to like accounting)

If you like the smell of piss and ass, paper work, angry doctors, angry patients, and being on your feet all day for close to nothing be a nurse.
If you want a cushy job handling other people's money while making a good amount on your own be an accountant.

Accounting.
Nursing is brutal. You are guaranteed back issues, and probably knee and foot issues too.
Do both. Learn accounting for the business side, learn nursing for the trade side. Then open a nursing home in ten years after you get 5 years experience doing nursing stuff and amother 5 at a CPA firm doing healthcare regulation consulting.
both are intersting, in that they are always in demand.
accounting is seen as a classier job but is threatened to be replaced by computers in 10-20 years.
sure, they're developing robots, but i doubt nursing will go out of demand anytime soon.
Nursing and I am a CPA. Unless you work 12 hour days in accounting you will probably make around $80k. Nurse practicioners make $100k easily and work set hours.

Or be like me and study to become a radiologist and sit on your ass a day reading MRIs and Xrays and get a high paying salary : ^)
You should major in being a wagecuck.
If you're going to spend your life working for working for a living, you might as well move back in with your parents and let your personal life be under someone else's control just as much as you are letting the part of your life where you make money be under someone else's control.
Good day sir.

I wouldn't worry about that if I were OP. Bookkeepers might be slowly replaced, but I find it highly unlikely that CPAs will ever become obsolete
