What subjects did you take in school and how have these influenced your career path?
Irish, English, Maths, German, Business, Accounting, Physics. German and Accounting influenced me the most; they were my main reasons for doing Commerce and German in college.
I liked accounting in college and school and I thought it was a natural progression then to train in an accounting practice.
