Job of an accountant is definitely a lively one. They usually have a lot fun stories to tell, if you appreciate the specific darkness of humor related to people getting into a jail for being greedy, stupid or both. They also love to boast about breaking the rules or clever ways they made sure people observe them.

I have yet to meet a bland accountant.

They are also rather valuable contacts, since other people tend to owe them for solving their little crisis couple years back and such.




There's a lot of mundane accounting to do (and being done) in the world too.

Much like software I suppose - there's not much to say about yet another simple CRUD app with nothing more to it.
