I've always thought public accounting was too hard a job not to be in ownership...
As an owner, myself, I read this and immediately said, "Yup, tru dat!". I could not imagine working this hard and making a half or a third of what I am currently making.
I was reflecting on this statement this morning while I was cooking some breakfast potatoes. Certainly, this can't be 100% true. But even if it is 30%+ true, this is not a good thing for our profession.
Of course, being an employee does come with a bit less stress & responsibility. But is it worth a 50% or higher discount than their boss is making? Is it worth not finding something else to do with potentially higher pay and less demands?
I would like to hear the thoughts of others, especially those that are employees. Is this true? Why is this true? Is this a problem that needs to be fixed? How do we fix it?
