Up from geekhood
A CPA speaks: "It was a pleasure speaking to the students (at Thomas Stone High School, Waldorf) and they seemed to have a genuine interest in the topic. You know what I think was the most surprising thing to me? Almost unanimously, their preconceived notion of a CPA was not that of a geek or a dweeb. Quite the contrary, in fact. Oh, the times they are a changing."
— Robert W. Askey, CPA, CFE, Askey, Askey & Associates
