Do they alleviate pain or suffering? Do they add to our knowledge about the natural world? Do they contribute works of aesthetic beauty to be admired for generations?
I'm an accounting major and recently gave a speech to my accounting fraternity about why only rich people need accountants, and accountants don't really help better the human race, they only make people get richer or look richer. "RICHER" DOES NOT EQUAL "BETTER". They didn't like me very much after that, but I strongly feel that I was telling the truth. I've just been thinking about this a lot, because I'm about to go into public accounting.
What do you think?
Accountants alleviate pain and suffering by providing their expertise on taxes and bookkeeping to people in need. But I think you should become a nurse instead since you want to help people with physical pain. |
