CAREER ADVISER:Accounting among Top 10 Jobs in Turnover.

Accounting is No. 6 on the Top 10. Here's why...

CPAs are in high demand and feeling confident about changing jobs, especially if they have SarBox or 404 skills.

What do they want? Simple: Higher salaries and better work arrangements elsewhere.

Of course, some accounting firms have high turnover by design through internship programs for entry-level investment bankers and management consultants, Bill Coleman, senior vice president of compensation at Salary.com tells Marketwatch.

"They like young, smart people," he said. "They work them to death and in exchange you get the credential of working there for two years."

But some consultants further into their careers find the expectations difficult to manage long-term and head for the door, says John Challenger, chief executive of outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. "There's a lot of burnout in consulting when you have to travel five days a week."

Here's the full list of the top 10 highest turnover jobs:
1. Fast-food workers
2. Low-level retail jobs
3. Meter readers
4. Nurses
5. Child-care workers
6. Accountants, consultants and auditors
7. Telemarketing and customer-service representatives
8. Movie-theater employees
9. Hotel and restaurant workers
10. Sales people

Well, at least movie-theater employees get free popcorn.
