Accountants are all boring losers with terrible jobs. Or are they?
I’m almost positive they are. But just to make sure, every member of the Good Work Investigative News Team (there’s 12 of us) did 5 years of school, a year of practical work experience, then took the CPA exam to find out whether we should give a hoot about accountants. They then told Dan about their findings, and he developed an opinion from it.
