ah, you either have to grow up knowing cleaning your room was less important than knowing how to use money or you have to put in some time doing a shitty job that gives you an idea what goes on with the nuts and bolts, what's important and what's not, who the paperwork goes to and who can help. i don't think kami's had either and there's a real chance she doesn't know anybody she can bounce questions off and when 700 bucks is a big deal the kind of accounting and legal work you'd get is probably the same quality as you'd do yourself but potentially dishonest. take something elementary like a balance sheet, quarterly report, your macro-survey book's graphs and it's not intuitive if you haven't familiarized yourself with the basics first-hand-looking shit up in poorly-written books and websites for bad accountants is a pain in the ass. i'm pretty sure half of the hbs-rockstars working in my firm would want to ask a few questions to make sure they weren't missing some commonly-known trick, decode government writing, or see what steps could be ellided.

truth is, kami's doing what most of the chicks will never do-figure out how the world that doesn't work on dependancy works. it's pretty ugly and clumsy to watch, but that's what seperates the chicks that move on and the ones that end up some 43-year old tragedy on luke's archives who can't pay for their medicine or leave the guy who mashes their face up. good for her, it's better she do it now than later--the douchebag sir-gallahad CPA's are still flocking to help her because she's still naked on dvd and they probably are less helpful to the 49-year old hags paying them for work.
