The Secret of Why Bob Jensen Became an Accounting Professor and Not a
Practicing CPA
Nursing Schools Should Warn Students About Grueling Hours
Nursing schools should do a better job preparing
students for the grueling hours, often unrealistic expectations, and lack of
respect that await them when they enter the work force, says an article
scheduled for publication today in the July/August issue of Nursing Outlook.
MIT's Technology Review, July 27, 2009 ---
http://chronicle.com/article/Nursing-Schools-Should-Warn/47468/
Jensen Comment
Although I always mentioned the long hours faced by newly-hired CPAs, especially in tax season, I'm not sure I ever said enough about it to a point that I did not have some (I like to think only a few students) who really became upset over the long hours and pressures in CPA firms. Perhaps this has changed somewhat, but one of the problems that remains is that many newly-hired students have to travel much more than they expected as either CPA auditors or corporate internal auditors. When out of town there's a tendency to work days and nights, sometimes in an effort to shorten the time on the road away from home.Truth Time
When I became a CPA and worked for the largest accounting firm in Denver, I was also an avid, and unmarried, snow skier. I was even tempted to become a ski bum except that my entire family history made me fearful of living without income and security. I was also getting an MBA at the University of Denver and watched my professors work what seemed to me like 12 hours a week while living in the security of tenure for life. This seemed perfect for becoming having my ski time and still having guaranteed income for life.I even came to a point where I had an ink pen poised above a contract at Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado where I could get a tenure track position, in those days, with only a MBA-CPA credential. As I lowered the pen, I casually asked the Dean how far it was from Gunnison to Aspen (which looked to be less than 30 miles on the map). He said it depended upon whether it was summer or winter. The pass was closed in the winter such that the shortest route was over 200 miles by going around through Leadville.
I dropped the pen and decided to accept a full-ride scholarship that Stanford University had offered me a few days earlier to enter the accounting doctoral program. The rest is history. I skied some while at Stanford, but after I got married at the dissertation stage of my studies, I gave up skiing and chasing wild women. More importantly I discovered that being a professional teacher and researcher was more fun and challenging than being a ski bum.
It's probably a very good thing that I gave up being a ski bum. I always tended to be a bit of a hot dog skier who skied one or two notches above my real farm boy ability. Undoubtedly I would be dead or paralyzed if I'd truly become a ski bum.
Interestingly as a professor and even as a retired professor I've worked longer hours year in and year out that most practicing CPAs. But this is a labor of love and a challenge to the mind and great relief from the boredom of leisure time.
About 20 years ago I recorded a sloppy audio file about becoming a professor --- http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~rjensen/academ01.wav

My choice in Picture Number 1 (the techie toilet) at

At the above site I discuss things to consider in your retirement life,
including Mark Jensen vs. Bob Jensen
It is a salutary discipline to consider
the vast number of books that are written, the fair hopes with which their
authors see them published, and the fate which awaits them. What chance is there
that any book will make its way among the multitude? And the successful books
are but the successes of a season. Heaven knows what pains the author has been
at, what bitter experiences he has endured and what heartache suffered, to give
some chance reader a few hours' relaxation or to while away the tedium of a
journey. And if I may judge from the reviews, many of these books are well and
carefully written; much thought has gone to their composition; to some even has
been given the anxious labor of a lifetime. The moral I draw is that the writer
should seek his reward in the pleasure of his work and in release from the
burden of his thought; and, indifferent to aught else, care nothing for praise
or censure, failure or success.

BH: My last question : How would you define the ideal digital society in a few words?
MJ: Equality of communication. Equality of information. Environmentally sustainable design. Low cost and high quality. Technology guided by the needs of people and not by trade and governments. Finally education technologies should be accessible to all.
Interview with Mary Joyce by Ben Heine --- http://snipurl.com/mjdigitalsociety
Therein lies the real trouble. Learning is labor.
We're selling the fantasy that technology can change that. It can’t. No
technology ever has. Gutenberg’s press only made it easier to print books, not
easier to read and understand them.

I wonder whether in the rush to
celebrate the virtues of openness and the fun of group learning, we’re
forgetting the virtues inherent in learning in private, in reclusive Walden-like
settings.

The National Debt
Clock ---
http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/
At the above site it appears to be a fixed number.
But now hit your refresh button to see how much it's changed in just a few
seconds.
At 9:34 a.m. on September 23, 2008 it was $9,734,361,140,920.08 trillion
At 9:35 a.m. on September 23, 2008 it was $9,734,365, 595,383.82 trillion
The annual amount of interest per year on the above number at 6% is
$584,061,935,723.03 billion
This translates to well over a million dollars a minute.
There's a greatly increased chance in 2008 that U.S. debt will receive a lowered
credit rating, which will greatly increase the cost of out national debt each
minute.
But the National Debt is only the amount we have actually borrowed on notes because the U.S. needed cash to pay current bills due. Every accountant knows that the unbooked liabilities can be much, much larger because we've not yet needed to currently borrow the money to pay bills that are coming in to us or our grandchildren in the future.
Because U.S. Government accounting is in such chaos (the GAO will not even sign off on its annual audits of the Pentagon), nobody on earth really knows what our total liabilities are. The former top accountant in the Federal government estimates that the total is well in excess of $55+ trillion (present value discounted) before the 2008 deficit is factored in --- http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/2008Bailout.htm#NationalDebt
A huge proportion
of our National Debt is held by our friends in the Middle East and Asia. If you
plan to watch that 1981 movie entitled “Rollover,” bring along a crying towel
---
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_(film)
OPEC could
probably put the U.S. out of business in an hour if it was so inclined.
And in doing so it would not have to manipulate oil supplies or prices.
Another trillion for a bailout of the Men in Black is not trivial relative
to the nation’s booked debt of nearly $10 trillion.

For an elaboration on the reasons you should join a ListServ (usually for free) go to http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/ListServRoles.htm AECM (Accounting Educators) http://pacioli.loyola.edu/aecm/
The AECM is an email Listserv list which started out as an accounting education technology Listserv. It has mushroomed into the largest global Listserv of accounting education topics of all types, including accounting theory, learning, assessment, cheating, and education topics in general. At the same time it provides a forum for discussions of all hardware and software which can be useful in any way for accounting education at the college/university level. Hardware includes all platforms and peripherals. Software includes spreadsheets, practice sets, multimedia authoring and presentation packages, data base programs, tax packages, World Wide Web applications, etcRoles of a ListServ --- http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/ListServRoles.htm
CPAS-L (Practitioners) http://pacioli.loyola.edu/cpas-l/

It provides an unmoderated environment where issues, questions, comments, ideas, etc. related to accounting can be freely discussed. Members are welcome to take an active role by posting to CPAS-L or an inactive role by just monitoring the list.

Quick Finds:
In 1876, my grandparents (Julius and Regina Jensen) donated a corner of their farm so that nearby Norwegian immigrants could build the Blakjer Church and a cemetery --- http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/iowa/cemeteries/blakjerlutherancem.htm
Bob mentions this church in his story about growing up --- http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/max01.htm
In the Year 2002, the church was moved from the country to a city park in Lone Rock --- http://www.lonerockiowa.com/attractions.html
The cemetery is still out on our old farm.I wrote a document (screen play? short story? tutorial? case?) that is a takeoff on the Muppets. It is entitled "Clyde Gives Brother Hat a Lesson in Arbitrage" and can be found at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/acct5341/speakers/muppets.htm

I have also attached a copy. Amey gave this to me in a hand-written notebook when my father died in January of this year. I promised Amey that I would type it up and put it on the Internet. By a very strange coincidence, I finished typing it up on the day he died, but I did not learn that he had died until several days later when I got a message from David and Lynn Jenson.
Amey died on October 4, 2002. He was 95 years old.

Concerns That Academic Accounting Research is Out of Touch With Realit
|
I think leading academic
researchers avoid applied research for the profession because making
seminal and creative discoveries that practitioners have not already
discovered is enormously difficult.
Accounting academe is
threatened by the twin dangers of fossilization and scholasticism
(of three types: tedium, high tech, and radical chic) From http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/395wpTAR/Web/TAR395wp.htm
