    I'd rather work with someone who's honest about how they operate than with someone who uses action as a verb.

    You need from 24-30+ credits of Accounting coursework in every state. No one is taking 8-10 accounting classes in college to round out their electives. 99% of CPAs have a business …

    You're confusing SITTING for the exam with being issued a license -- it's the latter where you'll need a degree. The rules are set up to allow college students, who are close to gr…

    PASSING the test is what is rigorous. Just as you don't need a law degree to sit for the bar (in some states), the requirements to sit for the CPA exam are basic. But the exam itse…

    I don't think ANY state requires a degree or CPA license to be employed in a job that may have the word accountant in its title; however, there are certain kinds of roles, with cer…

    What if I just want an offline record of my emails for the day that google decides to delete me from the internet? I'm confused -- Mbox files can indeed be viewed offline. (Not to …

    I'm straight and disagree with your assertion that our educational system had become feminised to the point of "alienating and neglecting hetero boys". Curious to hear the basis fo…

    I think there's some confusion over whether the term fit means just attaining an ideal body weight or also having a lean and muscular appearance. The latter isn't so easy to achiev…

    Counter-point to valid point: exercise can go by more quickly if you're interested in a podcast. And when I'm done exercising, I may not want the podcast on, so I can then focus on…

    Many in the medical profession find their job rewarding b/c they enjoy improving the quality of other people's lives. Not the same as social justice but also for a worthy cause. Ha…

    This podcast was a good listen. One of the authors/hosts, Steven Levitt, worked at a consulting firm when he first got out of school. I don't think anyone would dispute that these …

    Subscribed. Thanks for putting together this quality content. I was checking out your merge dataframes video the other day, that I was led to from a Stack Overflow post. I'm not a …

    Great stuff, swyx. Thank you for saving me some time -- Randy would approve. I'm gonna spend the time you saved me watching his other video, The Last Lecture.

    Sounds like you've struck a great balance between being unafraid to tackle some cool, challenging projects and sniffing out the tasks that aren't worth your trouble. Knowing the bo…

    There is merit to the parent comment advising that some DIY excursions are best left alone, but I appreciate the adventure that comes with grinding my wheels from time to time. Has…

    Clarification: Eating mostly plants is sound advice if you consider that it means eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes.

    I respect and agree with what you are saying. Even on the "higher-end", my relationships with the opposite sex were often unorthodox, shallow, or outright dysfunctional. And most o…
