Stress is the operative word in accounting and the business environment.
It's immune to all known antibiotics and invisible to the most powerful electronic digitized microscopes. It is reaching epidemic proportions, and almost everybody is feeling the effects and at risk. That used to be something that only overworked, fast-track Big Five types experienced. Stress can not only affect any accountant but can become severe enough to take him or her out of the profession and into the hospital or totally of the picture. An accountant starts a career with a great deal of excitement and expectations.
