Hello to all my fellow Steemit members (Steemians? Steemites? Steemers? – I’ll get it figured out)!! I’m Ken out of the Midwest USA. In the photo you see above, is myself, my smoke show of a girlfriend and my badass German Shepherd. A little bit about me- I’m currently doing my absolute best to shatter the stereotype of what an Accountant is “supposed” to be. I know… I know… probably not going to make much progress on that front while talking about crypto currencies to friends and family that don’t grasp the idea of a digital currency. But I do hear the phrase “You don’t seem like an accountant…” quite often. I like to dress nice; I like to ride motorcycles; I consider myself an athlete; I love dogs (and training them); I’m Pro-2A; and I love talking to people smarter than myself.
So how did I wind up an accountant??? It was actually a pretty easy decision… going into my 2nd semester of my sophomore year of college, I looked up the top paying jobs with a Bachelor’s degree and compared it to the top in-demand jobs with the best 10 year outlooks. Accounting was in the top 3 of both lists, so I went with it. Boom. I bet you expected some sappy Cinderella story, huh? Nope… just good ol’ fashioned logic, so I could pay my bills and have enough money to live life how I want.
As for what my posts will be… I honestly have no clue at this point. I love playing devil’s advocate, so you’ll likely get some new perspective on hot topics, as well as my take on the above mentioned passions.
Anyway… I can’t wait to interact with everyone!

Glad to see another great Steemian - love the German shepherd

I can imagine - looking awesome!
I think you missed your calling....you should be a writer. It's enjoyable reading this, you have a gift
Thank you so much!
Welcome to Steemit. Really like the logical mindset. I too like to play devil's advocate. I am curious to see the different perspective you will bring to the community.
Thanks!! I look forward to bringing it to the community and having those conversations!
Such a cute puppy!. :) Welcome, pleased to meet you.
He's an absolute handful, and a little monster at times... but he's certainly a good looking pup lol . Thanks for the Welcoming comments!
Ken, welcome!
It's common to not know what to write about. When I first started, I was wondering the same too.
The answer is simple: write what you like.
You will naturally find people following you and connecting with you over time.
Great advice! Thanks for taking the time to welcome me aboard and to provide some insight to a newbie!
Welcome to Steemit! My dad was an accountant for over 30 years. So I suppose we have some common ground, huh? Maybe not. He was more of a numbers guy. I have always been the get outside and get dirty guy. Anyhow, I always like to see newcomers to Steemit, so again, welcome. Followed.
Thanks for the Welcoming comments! It's a great profession to get into... very steady, albeit sometimes boring, work. I too love to get outside... I'd much rather be tinkering on my bike or hiking somewhere, but you've gotta make a living lol.
Good looking German Shepherd!
Thanks!! He can be quite the handful, but he keeps us entertained for sure!
hahah i bet
How you going. You look like the coolest accountant I have ever seen.
Hahahaha Thanks!!!

hahaha Ohhhh noooooooo. I hate getting mistaken for a hipster lol. But I suppose with the accounting profession and the beard, it's bound to happen. Hopefully I'll post enough outdoorsy stuff to sway your mind away from the hipster connotation!

I've heard a lot of accounting jokes, but I'm not one to shy away from a good laugh. Feel free to throw them at me whenever you hear a good one lol
Have you heard that they are using accountants in Lab Experiments now?, They find they are getting attached to the White Rats!
hahaha seems about right... as an auditor, I definitely don't have too many people getting attached to me!
Welcome and yes, you definitely do not fit the accountant stereotype, but I love your logic in selecting a vocation!
