I thought accounting was boring too trust me

Transcript

Accounting so boring I could never study that. Okay. Do you think I thought it was fun? No. I did this shit for my bag. Like I just wanted money, sumi. And then come to find out being an Excel monkey, really isn't the worst thing in the world. I go to work, I dial in, I feel productive, I come home, feeling kind of like a baddie. I don't know, it's not that bad. My bank account looks pretty good. I can work from home a few days a week. My coworkers are chill. I can afford to travel. I'm going to China in a few months. It's gonna be lit. Also, most of the thing I didn't have to go to grad school or pay for that. Or like didn't want to take out $100,000 of student loans. And at the end of the day, like how many people actually love their jobs? I feel like that's pretty rare, no matter what you do. Like as soon as something turns into work, it kind of takes a little bit of the joy out of it. I'm just sick of the accounting slander. I'm putting my foot down and giving my opinion. That's all.
