When your an accountant you want to make sure that your entire life isn’t about crunching numbers. As habitual creatures we tend to follow in our non-working lives as we do in our working lives. If we do a job that is mundane, takes up alot of hours in our day and requires very little (or even allows very little) interaction with others this can be detrimental to our social life, although highly rewarding to our work quality. Their however needs to be a balance. I knew some accountants in Sydney Australia who knew how to keep their lives in the fun zone.. they would always come up with accountant jokes to tell people!
