Didn’t a Deloitte tax senior do exactly this? Is that you?!

I always wanted to be a cow when I was young. Last year my wife delivered a set of twins. I guess my dream came true for her.

Nope, I did want to be a CPA when I was a kid. At age 11, I audited my parents. Believe me, there were some discrepancies, and I was grounded.

Strange enough, an accountant lol. I was in second grade at a career day, and the guy said, "if you like math, and you like money, accounting is for you!". I made up my mind right there to be an accountant, and never looked back. Now I'm older, and I see that it's not really about either, which is why I left lol.
