Life can be ironic. I graduated with an Accounting and Finance degrees. I was offered accounting positions but thought becoming a bean counter would be a slow death. So I joined the army knowing full well that my career would be diverse. Everything went well. I went into the 160th, Tanks, National Disaster, then the army in its infinite wisdom made me a damn Budget Officer.

Damn! Your degree came back to bite you in the butt! Was it really that bad though?

Cpl Vic Burk - Budget was not hard. It is essentially getting a budget from higher HQs, asking my subordinate units what their activities are that requires funds. Then I monitor their spending. It was a little tricky because I had Title 10 and Title 32 funds. The biggest contribution I made was studying DTS for a whole week and making a DTS Smart Book for the army.

There will always be the suck in every profession. The suck takes many forms and it speaks many different languages, but the suck is still there. But also the joy is there, if you can connect with it. I have found that to be the case in any endeavor be it the job, the military, education, being a father; it's there and will always be. The grass is not greener if you think green means no suck. The trick to whatever you do, even a task you dislike, is to find a way to connect to it and make it something of value to what you want to ultimately accomplish. In that the suck is your bitch.
