It's not all about money. Money is a false goal: it doesn't buy happiness (or the rich would never kill themselves, or take to Crack, or booze. "Enough money" is good - too much or too little doesn't help.
Besides, if you want huge gobs of money without having any noticeable talents, you need to shift to politics, drug dealing or any other life of crime... (or change your name to Nicholas Cage)

It is accountants that make commerce happen.
They ensure profits are made so that wages can be paid and that the needless and swingeing taxes imposed by government is paid where appropriate.
Accountants are Supermen, bestriding the Earth saving everyone from the menace of communism and evil and they ask for so little in return.
I have charged you for this message and will write off it's cost against your next return, although if you outsource the response you can get a tax break that will actually show a profit, which we can cascade through the asset register over a 5 year period taking full advantage of CGT and Corp Tax Disposal allowance.

Ahem. Speaking as a business owner; my accountants do absolutely nothing to generate profits. They ensure I comply with my fiduciary responsibilities, but they don't actually produce anything of commercial worth for my clients - the people who actually pay us. They are the people who generate our profits - not the accountants.

Tax evasion isn't profit, it's a criminal offence.

Because he has no discernable talent or acting ability but persistently gets cast in movies.
And then proceeds to turn a good sounding idea into a turkey.

Enter politics, then. Easy hours, lots of expenses, few questions asked.
Project management? It's not for me.

That's the usual take on the subject. Our MPs, bless their cotton socks, were recently slammed for claiming heating on their second homes at our expense, a day or two after all the energy firms raised their tariffs by inflation-busting percentages. They have all gone very quiet. Dear little tikes.

There was a bit on the BBC news this morning about the PlebGate tedium, saying that it has "eroded public confidence in politicians" - I didn't know there ever was any public confidence in politicians!
