When people find out that I have a graduate degree in accounting I hear either "oh you must like numbers" or "can you do my taxes?" Really neither is the case. I will probably never do taxes, in fact my wife and I pay someone else to do our taxes. And numbers? I understand numbers and I can use numbers with skill but I like using them to communicate and I really enjoy being able to help break down the fear barrier many people have with numbers. Those questions really speak more to a misunderstanding of what an accountant is and does. (That is a transition sentence for those paying attention)
