I figured it's time I introduced myself. Hello Hatrack, I'm His Savageness. [Wave]

I'm graduating from college today!

Posted by imenimok (Member # 7679) on :

Congrats and welcome! What's your field?

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Congratulations! [Hat]

Tell us more!

Posted by His Savageness (Member # 7428) on :

I'm getting my major in Accounting (with a minor in Philosophy) from BYU.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Accounting and philosophy -- you're a first-born child!

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

Is your first name John?

Want some soma?

Posted by His Savageness (Member # 7428) on :

What do you mean?

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

bad Hatrackers! He's new and we've confused him already!

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

Um, I know I'm supposed to say congrats for graduating, but then there's that whole accounting thing...

Welcome!

Ouch! Come on, we're not, all bad...

Wow.

So you like accounting?

Isn't that similar to enjoying watching the grass grow, or the paint dry?

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

HS -- it's a statistical fact that the majority accounting majors, CPAs, etc. are either first born children or an only child.

That's all I was referring to -- seeing if that was true in your case.

And your cautiousness in answering (by wanting to clarify with "what do you mean?") also points to the fact that perhaps you are a perfectionist and are afraid of giving the wrong response.

my seat-of-the-pants analysis of the day!

Pretty good analysis FarmGirl, about the perfectionist thing anyway. I'm actually the youngest of eight children. Oh, and I do enjoy Accounting (which at times sounds crazy even to me). Of course, I enjoy Philosophy more, but in the end I went with the more practical field.

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

Wow, FG-- I'm really going to watch what I say around you. . . [Big Grin]

Savageness-- I'm referring to Huxley's 'Brave New World.' The main character's name was John Savage.

Welcome to the forum!

Good plan, addressing the practical with accounting and feeding your soul with philosophy.

Posted by His Savageness (Member # 7428) on :

I should probably also say that I plan on going to law school in a couple of years, so the Accounting thing most likely won't be a full time career choice. Then again, the kind of law I'd like to practice is Tax, and most people would say that that's even worse than straight Accounting...

Sounds like you're screwed up good and proper. Should fit in perfectly here.

Accountant + lawyer = Spawn of Lucifer.

Scott R is a creative writer. You kinda have to expect some weird ideas like that outta him...
