when i grow up I want to marry a tax accountant....so i can spend hours upon hours waiting for her to come home while sitting and staring at the now cold dinner that i made her with such care, falling asleep on the couch in b/w hopes that the headlights coming down the street are hers, and receiving the calls that "it will only be 30 more minutes" before she gets out of the office (when really I know it will be after midnight)...when i grow up i want to marry a tax accountant

When I grow up, I want to never have to seriously worry about unemployment, be looked at by my colleagues and peers as a very intelligent businessman, have the knowledge to save myself and others from egregious and sometimes draconian business tax consequences, and have the potential to make ballin amounts of money until the day I die. I'm 24, and I'm currently a tax accountant.

Wateruplants I know eggzaclee what your saying! Wait wait wait wait wait! And wait wait wait just to fall asleep, it's a funny video but nothing is fun about the life.......at all! Just no quality of life, I feel bad for my girlfriend cause no one should have to work that many hours just to make someone else a lot of money

Whoever did the actual video, you HAVE to be an accountant. I have a daughter now 27 who is a CPA for a few years. Her twin's b/f is a forsenic acct and here too.She played this on her iPAD. Right before she said it's funny but almost sad.(I guess the hours she puts in) Her sister's b/f was laughing through all of it.I know the hours she works, thank Gawd she's not with the Big Four because she does get overtime.The Big Four SUK from what I understand.80 hrs a week, no o/t, pay is just ok.

I'm a photographer now;but was a CPA and can completely relate to everything in here. In my opinion, it's not a "sustainable" way to live your life. Life? You won't have it as a CPA.

One thing I'm glad I did though was to seek out opportunities to learn the business side of the firms and not limit myself to growth in tax. It pays to have the skills to run a photography business of my own.

Anyway, just for fun, check out my video in my account on my life journey so far.

I have been a CPA and auditor for over 32 years. When my daughter was young I had a fair amount of time to spend with her. My professor in college told me that an accountant had little stress and was a 9-5 job. I was so stupid that I believed him. If I saw him today I would sue him. If I added up all of the hours I worked since I got out of school, I would probably go postal.

My husband's a CPA and when our kids were small, he'd leave the house before they got up and get home long after they went to bed...6-7 days a week, for 4-1/2 months a year. I always joke that during Tax Season I'd keep a picture of my husband on the fridge so the kids could see their Daddy. So for the first 10 years of their lives, they grew up thinking their father was a refrigerator! When he was offered a job as CFO for a client, I took the phone and accepted the position for him! Great move!
