  2. I found it very interesting how we had the same perception towards accounting work, because although I studied that career... well, at the beginning of it, I just felt that it was not for me, since it was a lot of accounts, legal matters and numbers.

    Although now I see that there are more fields in which you can work, I found the option you have chosen incredible, even that was my second choice.

    Lastly, I had not noticed that aspect, the one you talked about going to jail for ethical mismanagement, it is very creative.
    Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed reading your post!

  5. Hi Carlos! I also agree with your opinion about accounting based ono the stereotype, because you are right, they alwas have the same profile, exaclty the same!! which can be seen as something kind of nerdy and so repetitive, I still have not figured out how can accountants be so happy if they are always doing the exact same thing always, and of course I think also that most of us have had bad teachers who doesn't make us fall in love with accounting and maybe that is way most of the people hate it?
