Accountant vs actuary

Ooooooooooooooooiiiii! The accountant is easily offended when her IQ is questioned. Accountants are very touchy about the IQ issue, since their IQ is often questioned. In college, do the highest IQ students major in accounting? I can see some high IQ student think, "Hmmm, should I consider nuclear physics, medicine, or, uh, accounting? I can't decide!" hahahaha!

As for our President not being "high IQ", you are just too dumb to recognize a high IQ person when you see one. It takes a high IQ person to recognize a high IQ person. A dumb person cannot tell the difference between two smart buys, just like a dog cannot tell which of two humans is smarter.

buddy, if you start your own law firm, your client is your boss. you spend your whole time kissing ass to try and get clients. Not only are you a slave, you have to be an ass-kissing slave to win and keep clients. The second your clients feels you are not kissing his ass enough, he will drop you.

Small busines owners are slaves. If you need to make money, the customer is boss. As long as you are working for money, you are a slave whether you "head" your firm or work in the firm. The customer is the boss. You are the slave working for money.

Actuaries are involved in more than just pension plans. Valuation work (which comes up frequently in adds-and-drops, ie: divorces, acquisitions, mergers, divestitures, etc.) requires actuarial skills. The ability to work with or develop economic models comes up as well, so you might also find actuaries in employment at larger or boutique investment-type outfits, as well.
