<p>OP - I am very confused. Your opening question was about how you can be your “own man” and open your own firm out of school, but then you go into talking about law enforcement, working for the IRS and having a stable and secure job.</p>
<p>I want either law enforcement or to own my own business. Both you must be very proactive and forefull about. My original question is still valid, I just got side-tracked during the discussion, I do have other aspirations other then opening a business.</p>
<p>jdnely was right, I meant it as in the IRS were enforcing the robbery that is paying your taxes.</p>
<p>I call it robbery because the IRS aren’t committing fraud, they’re taking your money with threat of force via police and ultimately the US military.</p>
<p>If you didn’t catch on and don’t see how the IRS can be considered robbery enforcement, then maybe you should go ahead and be an IRS employee. You’ll need the job security.</p>
<p>In response to the above post: you hardly have to be proactive to do well in the IRS compared to private practice. As Thetaxdad hints, it’s oxymoronic to consider something where the main benefit is job security as the only alternative to something with very high risk and reward opportunity.</p>
<p>^ (responding to last statement)</p>
<p>Thats not what I said. What I did say was that I I really wanted the IRS job because I want to work as a law enforcement officer as a special agent. Mabye you should focus on job security, you’ll need it.</p>
<p>What part of that does not address something you said? I was addressing the post when you didn’t get my reference to robbery enforcement and the posts (this whole thread) where you consider two jobs that are nearly rival in both practice and qualities.</p>
<p>Now it seems as if you’ve realized how stupid opening an accounting firm right out of college is and are focusing on being a special agent. I don’t know what your deal is, but the most articulate thing you’ve said was the part where you mimicked me.</p>
<p>How about this: rather than continue demonstrating how poorly you comprehend the English language, could you give us some kind of point. You’re obviously here for some kind of advice and it’s obviously deviated from accounting. Perhaps a question.</p>
<p>“What part of that does not address something you said?”</p>
<p>Again you are not comprehending what I wrote. Did I say you did not address what I wrote?</p>
<p>You took what I wrote and changed it. For example I never said the main reason I wanted to work for the IRS is job security. </p>
<p>I’m not arguing as I can see you have your own issues.</p>
<p>You said “That’s not what I said.”
So yes, you did say exactly that. I guess you’ve gone beyond not comprehending what you read and are at full-blown not knowing what you’re talking about.</p>
<p>As for IRS and job security, some people mentioned that the main perk of the IRS is the job security (I was one of them) and nobody said you were considering them for the job security, we just can see that it is not a very comparable job to owning an accounting practice.</p>
<p>What I want to know is how you got into college without sending in the score from the reading comprehension section on your SAT.</p>
<p>bc: “Also I want to add I don’t want to be a special agent. That is I don’t want to be a law enforcement officer, just an IRS agent.”</p>
<p>This is a direct qoute from one of your posts in another thread about the IRS. You do not make one bit of sense I must say.</p>
<p>“So yes, you did say exactly that.” </p>
<p>skittlesap - Did say what? The statement you quoted immediatley before the statement I have quoted first sentence here? What kind of an idiot are you? I have noticed in all my recent threads I created that you seem to jump in each one by either critizing myself, or offering some rude or out-of-line comment. If your intention is to help me, I advise you to just ignore threads I post, as I find your replies unhelpful and counterproductive.</p>
<p>arnold1 I probably wrote that because I was seeking an answer that required the [other person’s] perspective - that I was seeking a “regular” IR agent job. (was that my post about references?) If you read my other posts you will notice a consistent pattern of myself mentioning my ideals for serving as an officer.</p>
<p>Did say what I quoted you saying, what else would it be? Most of your message is worthless because the grammar is so poor.</p>
<p>I, as well as other forumites (who have also pointed this out), have noticed that you post a lot of threads, then criticize the people who come in to offer advice. If you could comprehend things you read, you would see that the advice you recieve from posts on here makes a heck of a lot more sense than anything you say. If you’re not going to listen to any of it, why do you post so many threads? If anyone is out of line, it’s you.</p>
<p>As they say, arguing on the internet is like competing in the special olympics…</p>
<p>No, it’s not.</p>
<p>skittle - “So yes, you did say exactly that.” </p>
<p>“So yes, you did say exactly that”</p>
<p>Again you have failed to comprehend my question. In reffering to the second statement quoted here - what did I say? “you did say exactly that”? (again I will rephrase the question so you are capable [hopefully] of understanding my question) I said “exactly” what? </p>
<p>Also, I have not mentioned of any other user then yourself which I find completely unhelpful and with (abvious) problems. If you can get help so that you are able to discuss in a forum politley, logically, and respectfully, mabye then I would care what you write.</p>
<p>But again, from this point forward I must ask you to just ignore my posts. I’m not asking anyone else, just you. Again just y o u. Get it? If not I don’t care I will no longer read nor respond to any posts that you submit.</p>
