I've been an accountant for over four years now. I don't believe I will ever excel at my career because I'm not passionate about it. I contantly hear accountants say they wish they had choosen a different career and non-accountants scatter at any mention of accounting. Accountants typically work the most (it seems to me at this stage in my career) hours in any department within the company. I don't see myself as an accountant. I've been described as the hippy accountant in my current company. All of these reasons have led me down the thought process of changing careers. I love my current company and would like to stay there.

Question: How do I approach changing careers within the same company? I'm unsure who I can talk to.
