  • Am I the only CPA on this board?

    Just curious if there are other "like-minded" people on this board.
    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

    I was once an accounting major, but saw the light and graduated in Economics. Does that count?

    I may be small, but I'm slow.

    A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

        Yes. There are several boring people here.

          Well, given that economics and accounting are vastly different fields that require vastly different mind sets I will say it doesn't count. However the fact you have done both is commendable. It would be like an accountant moving over to a finance or strategy department.

            Yep, that should qualify. What did you do while at the cpa firms?

              Actually, I am now an Oracle DBA and never used my Econ degree.

                    I passed the CPA exam first sitting and worked for Price Waterhouse. Got the CPA designation in California. Didn't make it past senior and went another direction.

                    I respect CPA's, but I wasn't anal enough to stay one.
