“banking was a boring job and only slide rule bean-counters and actuarial accountants moved into that sector of the workforce.”

“Most people don’t like math – these were not exciting jobs.”

—

1. accounting is not mathematics. Yes, it adds and subtracts number and works in percentages.

2. a “slide rule” will nether add nor subtract.

3. a slide rule has nothing to do with bean counters.

4. the author of the article probably has never seen and certainly not operated a slide rule. But remember a pencil and slide rule in the hands of scientists put a man on the moon.
