That&#x27;s quite a list!  I can&#x27;t really compete at all, apart from to say that I too was rejected by Deloitte, in somewhat amusing circumstances - having negotiated the necessary hoops to get to a final interview, the very nice lady interviewing me asked what should, really, have been a very simple question: &quot;Why do you want to become an accountant?&quot;  Sadly some sort of terrible realisation hit me at this point and I froze, looked at her in horror, paused for an eternity before finally answering, &quot;Well, I&#x27;ve always liked numbers!&quot;  She looked baffled.  I started laughing.  She started laughing too (probably, in retrospect, nervously).  That was the end of my fledgling career as an accountant.
