That’s all swell but you know what?
It isn’t about what the world needs.
If you have the desire, ability and opportunity to get a PhD in accounting then that’s what you should do.
Everything else is equivalent to someone telling you that, “the world needs ditch diggers, too.”.
Fuck people like that. Let them forgo their passion in life, not you.
I’d rather die like the guy in the comic strip than if cancer someday. Going it opposing Nazis surely gets you into Valhalla.
