This job requires some aptitude for tedium. It also requires an ability to do a lot of arithmetic , some statistics. The reward is a job which will open many doors. I have stated before a tried and true ticket to the FBI is by being a CPA. The economy can be in the crapper, but your skills are always useful. An accountant is a swiss army knife tool in business. If you are artful enough , you can create a lifestyle like mine. You are your own boss and you use your other life skills to develop a practice consistent with what you enjoy. Over 65% of my clients are in the entertainment industry or independent artists or musicians.


There is one guy on this board, who helped me build this practice from nothing- Seething. He is a man among men in my eyes. Anyway, even if you dont pass the CPA exam, you can become an enrolled agent and prepare tax returns or become a book keeper and earn $35.00 an hour working for yourself with low overhead.

Think about this if you are looking for direction and have the right skills.

Chapter 1:

The bedraggled man stumbled up to the makeshift gate and pounded to be let in.

An armed woman (Rosaria?) peered down from above, weapon focussed on Modeebs' chest.

"What skills have you?" she demanded.

"I can paint, write strange poetry and can balance your books you sweet lady!" he responded.

The gates opened wide, and Modeeb entered.

It is not an easy job. Even base accounting has a lot of people failing.
