My parents are immigrants, as am I. However, they came over as "Professionals" on work visa. Nearly everyone in my extended family is either an Engineer or a Doctor. Engineering is a decent fit for me, but I just don't like the lack of creative control or individual inquiry.
What's "TEC"?
Also, for financial/accounting info, are you talking balance sheets, and cash-flow type stuff, or do things get more complicated than that?
