Trading V Accounting

I sat on a panel this week about careers at a college. Two accounting firms, a bank and me.

The two accoutning firms asked to never be put on another panel with me. WHY?

Cause trading made accounting sound boring and they need to hire from the same pool as we do.

ACCOUNTING IS BORING!!!!

Way to go Monty.

Did they say that in front of you or did you hear it from a third party?

Also, I have always been curious how does one get selected to speak on a panel about college careers?

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
