Fresh out of business school, the young man answered a want ad for an accountant. Now he was being interviewed by a very nervous man who ran a small business that he had started himself.



I need someone with an accounting degree, the man said.

But mainly, Im looking for someone to do my worrying for me.



Excuse me? the accountant said.



I worry about a lot of things, the man said. But I dont want to have to worry about money. Your job will be to take all the money worries off my back.



I see, the accountant said. And how much does the job pay?



Ill start you at eighty thousand.



Eighty thousand dollars! the accountant exclaimed. How can such a small business afford a sum like that?



That, the owner said, is your first worry.
