I thought that I would add my 0.02 cents to this thread.
About me ex military and became an accountant as it offers a very diverse range of career options.
My specialisation is in both personal and corporate recovery or reconstruction and I am a manager at a specialist firm.
Insolvency is an interesting field of work as you need to be able to communicate effectively to a range of people from the tradesperson to a Director of the Board. It can also be intensely demanding as I have had to terminate an entire workforce right before Christmas or being appointed by the Bank to turn around a Company within six months before the cash runs out. Some of my more memorable jobs was running a Power Plant, managing a construction company and am currently running a Shopping Centre, so despite its seemingly grim nature working in insolvency can lead to a number of future careers.
Because it is by its nature quite adversarial it tends to be male dominated so roughly 90 %.
Happy to answer questions if anyone is interested.
