Why whine at all? Because I bloody well can’t do anything else.
Why? Because my parents love me and they only want the best possible future for me.
It isn’t as if I haven’t tried squiggling out of it. In fact, I am allowed to do whatever, absolutely whatever I want with my life, AFTER I GET ME A CA DEGREE.
So here I am, cribbing about something I just have to put up with for three years. But here’s what I’ve realized. I’m not the only one who is sick of this! Hell, there are loads of others! And this is my attempt to find them and to hope that they find solace in reading these posts. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
I have nothing against chartered accountants. Oh no, not at all! They are the ringleaders of the finance world. Sometimes, that makes me happy. I feel like I’m worth something. And then the moment passes and I’m back to the blog.
Now that we’ve established that being a chartered accountant is indeed ineffable, the problem lies not with the profession, but with the people who sit at the table to eat with others and later find out that the food gives them gas.
I have met one too many mates who, in broad daylight, have divulged that they would rather be doing “something else” but have to go with being a CA as they “unfortunately cleared” the exams. We are clearly frustrated. But I have also met those enthusiastic “I was born to be a CA” souls who are also frustrated and the reason for this is ARTICLESHIP.
I am talking about the feeling that people get in the pit of their stomachs when they suddenly realize that their skulls are now an empty cavity and their brains are in fact being corroded by digestive juices. This is how it feels to do TRACING. A health hazard, though no one has succumbed to its abuse. Yet.
Well, there are 3 years left. The list is long. The day has come to an end. And so shall this post. For now.
I hear you !!
When u look at a typical 10 year old they may tell u abt their dreams of being a doctor , engineer , architect maybe even a fire fighter but never have I seen anyone saying CA. N yet m suprised to find some people around me taking as if they were born with that aim in their head , which is strange . I complain abt CA and all things associated with it quite often too . But the grass is always greener on someone else’s garden right ? Perhaps sometimes interning will be as boring to a any passionate student .” Boring ” is part of life no matter where you go . This is a fantastic field. Regardless of whether u practise as a CA or no in next three years you are going to gain a lot of knowledge .
So why not give this thing a chance. Anyways u have to do it for 3 years right
Yes I should give this a chance. But that still doesn’t eliminate the ‘boring’ part of it. There were increasing incidences of me complaining to bunny and Harriet (my stuffed toys that survived my childhood) and this is just a way to vent. I agree there is a lot to learn but inspirational posts are the forte of every OTHER ca blog out there. And this makes boring fun if u look at it in a weird way. Thank you for your comment
. Here’s to three years of whatever may come.
hahahahha………so us<3
