I'm actually getting some sense of purpose through the project work which we have been slogging for, this entire weekend. My social life must be have hit a new low for me to feel that way! What to do if your favourite people are either absent/away(overseas), or busy with school/work, or broke without any money. :(
Anyhow, I found new enjoyable friendships with these people whom I've been working with - it's nice to meet new people who share mutual sentiments about the less-than-iridescent future. It appears that a lot of us have become so disillusioned with the accounting profession that nobody actually wants to do it whole-heartedly. Everyone is just doing to plunge headfirst into the industry with a resigned attitude. Knowing that actually provides some sense of comfort knowing that you're not the only one who's struggling to come to terms with what you think is best for you and what everyone else is dancing to the tune to. The unknowns of uncharted territory frightens us yet we doubt the meaning of what we're supposedly meant to do.
There's nothing wrong with accounting, I just find it extremely soul-less. Getting anything balanced-out on financial statements doesn't give me any sense of achievement, I'm merely extremely relieved as it implies that you will probably need to do less work if the debit credit balance balances. Every time our singlish-spewing-Prof says that we need to know all this, this & that accounting theories because we will be the future accountants sitting on the standard-setting board, I'd feel mildly sorry for him as I know that I definitely won't, like many of my school mates.
