I'm not sure why you're saying that accountancy is for people with "no imagination" and, more worryingly, implying that it's some sort of "lesser" profession.

- tluyben2 13y agoMaybe he speaks from his own experience? I'm not sure how limited mine is in this regard, but having worked in/with many companies and having met quite a bit accountants/accountancy related people, I can honestly say I have not met more boring, unimaginative people. People who enter numbers from invoices/receipts into software which does the actual lifting and, when done, sign it. The latter for liability because they have a certificate, being their only advantage. For them that is; why else pay them so much? I met 1 creative accountant/party animal in Spain who is now in jail for fraud. This is my own experience which is limited to only about 80 accountancy related people (I worked for a big French insurance company where actuaries created spreadsheets we implemented in code), so i'm not generalizing, just saying he might have the same experience.
