What non-work/free time stuff can you do to boost an accounting career?
Let's say you want to work in economics. In that case you can, aside from working in the field, do things like participate in political organizations, write blogs and articles on economic matters, participate in investment clubs, etc to build your personal brand as an economist. I know a guy who was a member of a political right-wing party, and he was able to get in touch with a think tank where he got to do economic work. He made quite a name for himself.
If you want to work in medicine you can do humanitarian work, help sick kids and so on.
If you want to work in programming you can write scripts for almost anything and build a portfolio of projects before you even start college.
If you want to work in environmental science, energy science, etc. you can join Greenpeace or whatever and ascend to some position of importance.
The list goes on, but what the fuck do you do if you want to make a name for yourself in accounting? Basically, how do you build your personal brand in accounting, if you want to do stuff outside your job?

are you in or out of college? do you plan on becoming a CPA?
Be good enough as an accountant and be likable enough as a human being and get promoted.
I major in accounting and I wouldn't work as an accountant. Forget that.
