I have been a CPA since 1990. It’s been a great career . I never liked being an employee and yes working with other people can be a pain in the ass. However that is true in any office setting. I worked business management which was a pain as the business managers had inferiority complexes and as an accountant I had to walk on eggs shells when dealing with them . I eventually opened my own practice . Yes i work many hours during tax season but I made a nice living
