an accountant's job is always demanded wherever you go. especially now, where companies are outsourcing back-end jobs, accounting jobs will benefit from this. jobs will abound not only in your home country, but also in the US, since finance specialists will be in demand to manage financial information. also, you can also expand your skills to investment banking, private equity, equity research. your potential is practically limitless.

Ranny:
Accounting is a good profession.
On the plus side, good accountants are always in demand. It can provide a good career with strong progression according to your talents; and a 6 figure income after 10 years or so if you are successful.
On the minus side, it's a very stressful profession with a LOT of deadlines. The hours are long - expect to work at least 50 hours a week in the trenches; more when you get into management. It's also easy to get "pigeonholed" if you let someone talk you into a specialized position like revenue accounting or royalty accounting.

Every single company needs accountants, so it is definitely a good career to get into if you don't mind repeated work or some challenging and exciting work (higher level)!! It is a rewarding job if you have CPA license ... you can make a whole lot of money for being a higher level accountant.
Just remember, you will "always" find a job if you are an accountant :)
