What does it take to recruit a birlliant student into accounting?

The following story is contributed by a student. Although I won't consider the story a"joke", I thought it's funny (like Life in These United States) and hope you have fun reading it.

  I wanted to share with you the funny bumper sticker that I saw last year.  It goes, "Accountants work their assets off!"  Well, what made it rather funnier than the sticker itself was that the car in front of me which was driving rather slow early morning in the dark, a red 4 door sedan with the paint faded away, seemed so miserable, and I could see this poor guy dragging himself to work every morning wondering, "why did I choose accounting?"  It kinda made me stop to think about choosing my major.  When I got to school that morning, I told my friend in ACCT2301 who is determined to major in accounting just to scare him off a little.  Of course, he got a crack out of it.  Not only that, he now has talked me into majoring in accounting, and we both have been taking same courses ever since.

Not Enough?
