Not my cup of tea but good luck.
Educating oneself is not something to be denigrated so I reckon everyone else should back off.After all Jerreck has to fund his own education up front- no student loans or grants for him so he is entitled to choose what he wants to study and what he wants to use that education for.
Accountants ARE very important and everybody needs them.Schools,colleges,hospitals,pensions,governmen t all NEED accountants and to assume that jerreck is going to be a dodgy one seems a bit unfair.There are very many good,decent people who are accountants.When did this particular job become such a dirty word?
