Hari, i have had similar thoughts while doing my CA; and they still haunt me when I have completed. In truth, i somewhat would agree that we dont get to invent anything special, but i have somewhere realised that an accountant's job is like this only....besides the competition these days in science as well as commerce field is really pushing us to consolidate our careers in someways or the other.
Best course of action is to go with the flow.....rest i welcome your opinion.
