That's a little beyond my sights. I was thinking small business accountant or tax accountant. Something modest.

Pain not worth the gain unless if you're busy working 60+ hrs a week making hundreds of books for several businesses ;')

We invented computers for a reason. This is it.

bookkeeping is pretty dandy though, $60/hr on avg IIRC

That's a good wage but unless you're cooking books, bookkeeping is pretty boring. Pay is also declining, at least according to PayScale. Businesses want financial analysts rather than mathematicians.

which is why I said accountants are just glorified mathematicians, tbh

I'm a Distributist (Semi-Constitutional) Monarchist Integralist


I believe in a Catholic Monarch, elected by a senate comprised of a nation's nobility (Similar to the Polish Golden Liberty), with strong powers similar to that of a President or Prime Minister (essentially serving as the head of state and government), while the legislature, comprised of above senate and a lower, popularly elected house.

Economically, I believe in Distributism, which essentially translates to the freedom and protection of private and personal property that comes in a capitalist system, while adopting strong anti-trust laws, and promoting the forming of guilds and other forms of trade associations that aren't formed along class lines but designed to encourage class-collaboration. The best way I could explain this is that I want an economy with, to quote Hilaire Belloc, "an agglomeration of families of varying wealth but by far the greater number of owners of the means of production."

I also prefer a subsidiarist approach to most politics, wherein the lowest level of government capable of carrying out a needed service or providing a needed law/regulation is the one that does it, rather than requiring a centralist government to do so.

ANd, well, integralist, obviously means I have a religiously-influenced socially conservative outlook.
