Wearing Your Career Aspirations on Your Sleeve

Posted by accountingweb on Oct 25 2005 114 printer friendly

Student members of the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants (TSCPA) were given “CPA 2B” and “Born 2B CPA” temporary tattoos as part of a lighthearted summer membership promotion. Student members were encouraged to take a picture while wearing the tattoos on their summer vacation and submit them to TSCPA.

Entries showed TSCPA student members displaying their temporary tattoos as far away as the streets of Spain and the mountains of Peru and as close as a backyard pool in Texas. All submissions were entered in a random drawing for four $250 prizes. All received a free t-shirt.
