Somebody mentioned accounting, and that reminded me of a woman who was shopping for neckties when I was working in a department store on a leave from college. She said, "My boyfriend's an accountant. Do you have anything...dull?"
Heehee! I'm an accountant (a CPA, but not a degreed accountant - my degree's in psych, and I became a CPA later in life), and it's not dull at all! Something different every day, you get to meet a bunch of people, always something to learn. There are accountants who sit in a cubicle and do the same boring thing day after day, but that's just a bad job, not something inherent to the profession.
