Accounting vs. design.
1. You can fake/copy design, you can't legally fake being good at accounting.
2. There isn't exactly a booming population of awesome accounting portals, where people rip one another's ideas off day in and out.
3. Is there really an accounting community? You can't really tell an accountant that his work sucks, because it's almost always privatized. The quarterly reports, etc., are mostly all you ever see—not his ability to bend numbers.
4. Are people really on a high horse about being a great accountant? I doubt it. See item #2.
5. You can be a graphic designer with zero formal training, and start working professionally pretty easily. With most other "professional occupations," this isn't the case.
You could replace accounting with most professions. Not sure the point I'm trying to make here—if any at all—but those are some things that come to mind for me in trying to understand this retarded discussion.
