Being a CPA, it's interesting because there are always things happening. It's dynamic, it's always changing. It's not just like, 'Hey, I'm going to sit at this desk and do XYZ.' There's a lot going on, and you can take any path you want, which is the exciting part about it. ‘Interesting' is the best way to describe being a CPA. It's a very interesting job.
