Pet can attack you all he wants. He could easily be a "low-life" and drop out of school and become a janitor. However he has ambitions, and a brain. I bet you find he does a B Com (finance or accounting majors) or a law degree. You know why? because its a gateway to a 1000 places, and means you understand how money works and is created. Bet they didn't teach that at janitor school? lol.
Accounting is not my ambition at all, its a gateway. Highest regarded business qualifications in the WORLD are your MBA and CA, i'll have both. I'm not a HR blockkeeper doing tax returns for mummys and daddys, lol. My charge out rate would mean a simple phone call = a loss, not to mention I would have quit in 2 seconds due to boredem. You don't need a degree or CA for that. I'm in audit and investment accounting, i.e fund accounting (financial accounting - GP accounts etc). My passion is the stockmarket, which I know a lot about (and have substantial amounts invested), and ill be leaving Aus to go to the US to be involved with a hedge fund of Investment bank. A hedge fund won't even look at you without a MBA or CA (CPA - GAA = CA in USA). As for "go to work when you want" you mean you can go anytime throughout the night. Wow, that completely sucks. Go to work at 3am for $15 an hour, lol.
Your ambitions probably consist of segregating toilet cleaning duties to your "apprentice". In all seriousness Sneaky you can't really do crap without some formal qualifications - a degree. However a simple degree isn't even enough nowadays. Only a few people in this forum are smart enough to understand this. Most people here are simple family folk, vote for labour, and drive a holden/ford. They would have no idea what "money" really is, and work for a wage their entire life. Sneaky you fall into this category, espicially after hearing your career, and then your VOICE. You know when someone is below 80IQ from simply talking to them -"URUU DEEERR UUHHH WOO WOOF".
A janitor arguing about money and jobs with an accountant, lol, goodluck idiot.
