Well i have a relative who goes to HR block to get tax returns done. He hears im a cpa so he starts asking me questions assuming I know everything there is to know about doing individual tax returns. He mentions at HR Block he uses someone with just a high school education who makes $10/hour during the tax season doing returns and during the rest of the year has some other job (bar tending maybe? Not sure)
Anyway, I try to be a humble college graduate who happens to be a CPA who admits he doesn’t have any experience doing individual tax returns, and this distant relative seems confused by that, as though he can’t understand why I even bothered to go to get a college degree.
I guess what I take from all this is that it’s like common people jhear CPA and expect you know everything there is to know about individual taxation, and if you don’t know some basics (never really done a return before – never had to) & assume you’re incompetent and went to college for nothing..haha
