The chosen occupation of the dullest people you will ever know. Enticed to this career solely by the prospect of financial gain and security, yet not brave enough to advance to the somewhat more respectable and risky (yet at least.. more exciting) field of finance, a person who chose to be an accountant is a boring syncophantic moron (see: tool) who essentially decided to do the most boring job in the world because he or she was scared of committing to anything else.
Nobody is ever "passionate" about accounting. Anybody who says that he or she is passionate is basically a fucking goddamn bullshitting liar.

Ex. Ricky chose to be an accountant because he thought he wouldn't get hired for anything else. He now works for PwC and is fucking boring as hell. Ugh, having to be around him and listen to him talk is like being strangled and having to die a very slow and painful death.
