much more than accountants, that's for sure. accountants hardly get started in the low 40Ks at age 30.
the truth is, you guys are the same person and your self-stalking, arent cha?
Now there's an idea. Not a good one, but it's an idea. :-)

Just like everything else, it is a supply and demand issue.
one day, the demand will collapse and accounting will go the way of architecture.
The demand did collapse somewhere around 1965. Since then there has been an increasing glut of qualified accountants with its commensurate depressive effect on salaries.
I find the comparison with Architects strange. They are active builders and part of the wealth building process. We accountants are just necessary overhead.

I'm a self-employed accountant. I wear what I want. I work from an office at home. I work when I want and stop work when I want.
I'm happy. You don't seem happy.
What species of nerd are ice cream and cabbage?
Counting is easy for must people. It's understanding things that a lot of people find hard to do well.
That is odd. Here in Canada I find there is a steady demand for accounting types.
No, computers made the job much easier and allowed more time for analysis.
business management functions are 100% female.
this is because accounting is fundamentally secretarial. Being a male accountant is like being a male nurse or male secretary. Are you gay?

One thing is certain, yer a troll.
business management functions are 100% female.
That was established long ago, but then what else is the usenet good for these days. I think everyone who was serious about discussing accounting issues moved to the monitored forums long ago.
Historical note. Back when the Univac price went down enough for the fortune 100 to install them in their accounting departments, the first attrition started. Then something got out of kilder in the early
1960s and demand exceeded supply. The market quickly corrected and then the massive government subsidy of the educational system started to pump the supply up.I think 1965 was the last year you could walk into a Dennys at lunch, announce yourself as an accountant and get three offers including a free lunch.
Yeah, that is the folk tale the computer apologists keep saying. When the main frames came in, the bookkeepers and section accountants were pink slipped out the door. The salary & wage savings more than paid for the computerization. (Probably the last time EDP actually did deliver a positive ROI.)
