Some people genuinely really enjoy hands-on work (and you can also make a ton of money in those fields), but as someone who doesn’t I have zero complaints. #accounting #9to5 #corporatelife #cpa

Transcript

Hi, I'm grateful for my corporate job. Obviously, I'd rather be a millionaire. And I do have dreams that I want to pursue on the side. A lot of the times I think I have amazing work life balance. I work from home a couple days a week. My team is insanely nice, supportive, and flexible. And I have money. And my job is not that hard. Y'all, I walk to work a lot of the times and I pass people doing manual construction labor in the 90 degree heat in Chicago. They're probably paid half of what I do and they probably get two weeks of vacation a year. Meanwhile, I'm over here being an Excel monkey and I have amazing benefits. I have health insurance. I can save for my future and the things I want to do. Like, I don't know, you can want more, but I think it's so important to stay grateful for what you have because this is such a better situation than 90% of people.
