Why tax

Hello guys, I am going through an interview process with big 4 and I am told that that I will be asked a question: "why tax?" I am trying to know what to answer. I know my answer should be "say whatever you think is the reason you picked a direction" but the point is that I am not sure why I did it. I do not say that however;because obviously it will not sound very decisive. Please give me some advises because I feel like if I can answer this questions, than I should handle myself well enough on the rest of the interview.

sincerely, George

Q: why tax? A: Hey, why not?

Valor is of no service, chance rules all, and the bravest often fall by the hands of cowards. - Tacitus Dr. Nick Riviera: Hey, don't worry. You don't have to make up stories here. Save that for court!
 

Death and taxes are always a constant and I like the steadiness of that. Being a mortician, sort of creeped me out too much. So, what other options did I really have?
