Did tax return prep for 20+ years, and I loved doing battle with the IRS. Still, it got boring, thanks to all the added regulations and licensing requirements.
I no longer have a career...just a job and I can live with that. I'll find something to keep me busy when I "retire", but it will be of my choosing.
Good accountants are a treasure. My rant is aimed at the politicians and government bureaucrats who keep sliding around (fiscal) accountability in their own realms but use accounting that they dismiss from themselves as a political weapon on others Figures never lie, but liars always figure...as the saying goes. Good luck in retirement.
