Literally thought this was a video about accountants describing a dream they had.

My friend was an accountant intern, he's a fckn number wiz. But, right before graduation he got arrested with 2 kilos of cocaine a gun and 65, 000 in cash. He's doing 15 years now. Guess accountants aren't all boring lol.

I'm an accountant. Don't let them lie to you, there is almost NO MATH! The finance people and statisticians get to do all the cool math. Accounting is recording and reporting. All we do is record what transactions happened so that the auditors (also accountants) can examine your records and write reports about it. It is super-boring, but the hours are great, the salary is sweet, and if you're an auditor, everybody is scared of you.

Don't work for a public accounting firm, tho. That sh*t sucks.

Accounting is tough work, and somehow, we always end up getting the blame for the mistakes management makes....
Despite its complexity and difficulty, accounting is very rewarding.

the cool guy with the yellow tshirt and beard looks like shane dawson's brother

When that old lady said "dope" my face hovered over my palm and landed there..

The only good accounting is creative accounting.

I don't understand how anyone would want to be an accountant. I find it extremely hard to try and memorize every equation within those word problems. Even though I have had a hard time understand the idea behind accounting, I give all props to those who can handle a company's finances.

They only have tax accountants....they should have had at least one auditor! Their the best! !! I know...I'm one 😅... but seriously there is more to accounting then taxes. There are dozens of types of accounting in every industry. ..any personality type can find one they like. People think accounting involves hard math and shy nerds... well guess what...while accounting involves numbers, it doesn't have a lot of complex math and you have to be a people person to work in accounting. Plus, accounting is one of the few fields with lots of options, lots of jobs, and good entry level pay.

The lady when she said "Accountant are dope!" i died

I'm currently majoring in Accounting and Finance and somehow this video made it seem so depressing...

The dude with the mustache was fucking hilarious!! Satire at its finest!

[mopryIScool]

I've wanted to be an accountant for awhile now. Accounting just relaxes me and it's the only work I can keep up with tbh

[ExoticalAfrodite]

I don't love the job, but I like it when people hear that im an accountant and they be like "Oh beautiful and smart too" plus the pay cheque too :-)

[fighterjoe]

My heart was stolen by an accountant in the making. He's almost there. WHOOT!

[chrysalis]

Funny, I discovered that I wanted to be an accountant in the 5th grade. Disabilities and life modified my path, but I'm still one heck of a bookkeeper/tax preparer.

"I don't think any accountant chooses to be an accountant" I'm in highschool and I'm hoping to go into accounting after I graduate. I've had this dream for a little more than a year.
