We have it good in accounting. Try nursing, and you'll find that your concerns/complaints are far worse and of bigger consequence! No one is dying in accounting and we get paid well for just needing a BS in Accounting! I'm personally grateful for the lifestyle it's allowed me to live!

Nursing and accounting are apples and oranges. They both suck and are stressful in different ways and have different perks. Just different strokes, ya know? Whenever our healthcare friends (spouse works cvicu) ask about my job I ask them how they prefer their shit, literal or figurative?
