The irony of my life - choosing to be an accountant instead of a doctor - there are a number of reasons but the ironic one - I was not sure if I could deal with late nights and emergency shifts and the working weekends, I wanted a career where taking the weekends off would not be a guilt trip.
Irony - in my audit career, I did all three - late nights and emergency shifts and the working weekends without the satisfaction that what I did contributed to society or mankind or at least a couple of persons.
Guess working late nights and weekends was destined for me, but as a doctor it could be emotionally rewarding.
