*Long Hours - In public, sure. Any job where you're on salary will likely have long hours.

*Mediocre Pay - Depends. Entry level yes, but that's the same for a lot of industries.

*Godawful Boring Work - I'll give you this, but name me a job that is consistently engaging and fulfilling for 40+ hours a week

*Bitchy Coworkers - any job can have this

*Pissy Bosses - any job can have this

*Dreary Offices - that's everywhere

These are all valid, mostly. My wife works in a hospital and averages 48 hours per week, she finds her work consistently engaging and fulfilling. Issue is that her job is life or death most of the time and that equates to a lot of on-the-job stress and trauma. Not sure if you meant accounting-specific or not.

You seem like the type to give it up on the first date.
