Anyway, I had done accounting for a while, got married, and started was working on a PhD in accounting, but missed part of my comprehensive exam, and my brain was mush. Then I went really crazy and got a degree in chemical engineering. Realized that wasn't my calling (are we seeing that maybe IMP knows what MLC looks like) and got a master's in tax and worked at a small firm during tax season. Bomb. A working at PwC in corporate tax until 9/11. I was nuts then between getting dumped and hating the work. The job I am on now is as a software QA (we do personal income tax software) and none of the tax work was in vein. Actually my best experience was at the small firm where I did tons of personal returns from a variety of states.
It was a long road getting where I am today, doesn't pay a ton, but I am happy and that's what matters.
And now that I have played in the sand, I shall come back even though I am not used to the piecing board!
