I was great at my tax job because I could not be bored by detailed and repetitive work. I loved filling out the same forms, day after week after month after quarter after year, and having the totals all balance.

I also do counted cross-stitch for fun.

Started as an auditor for Ernst & Ernst, now Ernst & Young.
It was torture for me to fill out the forms. I hired people to do that in my firm and limited my work to problem solving, forensic examinations, handling IRS audits for other CPA’s and preparers, tax court cases, and as a tax law professor. Did many of the professional certifications... CMA, CIA,..... For me it was all too boring.

Changed hats midstream, returned to the university as a student to study psychology and then neuroscience. I have found studying the human brain and consciousness much more intellectually stimulating than tax law!

I still retain the CPA license just to help out friends.
