I hear it all too often from the old guard retiring: “I’m worn out,” or “we are merging because we don’t have the stamina to make the last 5 years,” or “I’m too old for all of these techy changes,” or “developing the next set of partners for our firm is just too time consuming.”  My Dad said this stuff before he retired in May 2009.

It seems the end of a public accountant’s career is steeped in misery, being “worn out” and adverse to change.  Not a very exciting picture for those entering universities deciding what to major in!  Is this what the younger generation has to look forward to when they retire?
