It's an ugly job, but somebody's gotta do it. No, no, no, we're not talking about selling Tupperware. We're talking about something far more sinister: a life that offers hope to desperate men and women, but soon forces them down the path of eternal misery and suffering.
Yes friend, we're talking about: accounting.

Meredith entered the dangerous world of accounting in 1989. The deeper she got in, the more she felt the death-grip of credit and debit tugging at her. "I- I only wanted to balance the books," she sobs now. "I didn't realize you could get hooked on the stuff. But suddenly, tallying up the balance sheets wasn't enough. So I experimented: I tried LIFO and FIFO and even some of those "designer" inventory techniques. And... well, you see where it got me."

Her warning words to youth thinking about a career in accounting? "Don't do it, kids. If it doesn't kill you, it'll ruin your life in some other way. Stick with a nice, safe career like rock star or helicopter pilot."
A native San Franciscan, Meredith lives in the City by the Bay with her husband and their son Mikey, whom they feed a steady diet of Life cereal, Coca Cola, and Pop Rocks.
