What Do Your Accountant and The Rolling Stones Have in Common?

So, it’s tax day. Yay! (/Sarcasm)

In any case, here’s another reason to snarl when you hear the word “accountant.”

Apparently accountants are the new rock stars.

Due to a labor shortage, these dear number crunchers are being hired in droves. Recruiters are on a rampage. Companies just can’t throw enough money and benefits at these people.

First the urgent need for tech folks (late 90’s), now accountants (mid ‘00’s) …I’m beginning to kick myself for getting that degree in English. (But hey, at least I'll always have something in common with these folks.)

After reading this post, I have one comment and one question...

Comment: They may as well enjoy the gravy train while it lasts...they're a prime target for outsourcing. A lot of accounting work is already going over to places like India.

Question about the post's title: "Accuntant"??? A little Freudian slip there, perhaps? ;-)

Good Lord. I need to spell check this stuff. THANK YOU for the catch!
