Today’s guest is Katie Minion. After spending 7 years in tax, Katie left accounting — sort of — to start a writing career (and an art business). Read her story below! Grim: Thanks for being here! Can you start by telling us about your background? Katie: I attended the University of Kansas, which was not far from where I grew up in the suburbs of Kansas City. When I was asked to declare a major, I had no idea what to choose. I didn’t have an overwhelming amount of interest in any one subject, and I didn’t have any grand plans for what I wanted to do after college. But after talking it over with my mom, I settled on accounting because I enjoyed math so much. It’s funny to think back on that decision process now, because I soon learned that you don’t need to be a mathematician to be a good accountant. Regardless, accounting ended up being a pretty good fit. The business school at KU is a well regarded program, so I stuck with it through their Master’s program and am more than happy with my education.
