I suspect it's because they like rules and want everything to be neat and explainable.Jewish Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616617537150446818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-35699818467588853442011-02-25T14:12:40.339-05:002011-02-25T14:12:40.339-05:00JA - Yes, most accountants I know are the most hon...JA - Yes, most accountants I know are the most honest people I know as well. Now that I think about it, computer science people are up there as well - just nerdier. ;) (I kid, I kid. Ish.)<br /><br />Accounting itself isn't usually fascinating, except in extreme cases, but applications of it are often really interesting.Ezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494592434522239195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-52424695399720211792011-02-25T14:05:02.771-05:002011-02-25T14:05:02.771-05:00My Dad's a frum accountant and he's probab...My Dad's a frum accountant and he's probably the most honest person I've ever met. <br /><br />I think my field, computer programming, is another one that you can succeed at while behaving honestly. Source code doesn't lie either. :-)<br /><br />Like accounting, a lot of people would find computer science boring, but perhaps unlike accounting, there are a lot of people who do it (like me) who find it fascinating.Jewish Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616617537150446818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-90259536017741545332011-02-25T12:25:42.172-05:002011-02-25T12:25:42.172-05:00Hi David.

If only a certain company would have ever put out a 10-K, right? <br /><br />Too bad the CEO and COO turned out to be ("alleged") criminals, and in turn hurt everyone incredibly. But don't worry, I'll get to that later in the series.<br /><br />Oh, and I'd suggest you stop believing a word from a certain person you e-mail. I made that mistake for a long time, and it only came back to hurt me. By now, you have far more reasons to know better.Ezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494592434522239195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-64606955811190538922011-02-25T12:02:52.032-05:002011-02-25T12:02:52.032-05:00I'll show you a 10-k that says numbers do lie....I'll show you a 10-k that says numbers do lie.Dpilondnoreply@blogger.com
