That's fair enough! Most accountants I crossed paths with dislike the modern type of busy work. Lots of marking up spreadsheets and PDFs rather than crafting journal entries. Luckily for me, I switched into software engineering, and system design scratches that same exact itch. Now I build software for financial auditors to make their work less dreadful, and it's very popular with them because they don't have to do as much of the terrible, modern tasks that have befallen them with advances in accounting tech.
