Lies! Blatant lies, I tell you! OK, well maybe some (lucky) Asians are good at math, but I will be the first person to tell you that I am not good at math. The subject has never been a favorite of mine, but I've managed to make it through life with less-than-favorable math skills. (Don't worry, I passed all my math classes throughout school years.)
How did Asians get stuck with the high honor of being stereotyped as good mathematicians? Or good musicians at that (although I am a musician, so I won't post about that)?
I said all of that to say this: I was not cut out to be an accountant.
I'm currently working for my best friend's company doing whatever they need help with. Well, blessings on my head, they currently need help with bookkeeping. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, I am thankful for the work, money and time spent with my friend; I just know that if I could choose my profession (which, by the way, isn't going too well at this point), I would never choose to do anything with numbers, math, bank statements, etc.
I think I've found my newest answer to the common interview question: "What is your greatest weakness?"
