An Unusual Option

An item in the Springfield, Mass., Republican caught our eye: Michael G. O'Reilly, the head of the local FBI office, is leaving the Springfield to become a field agent in Connecticut.

A certified public accountant, O'Reilly joined the bureau nearly 20 years ago when he was 28. He worked as a field agent in offices from Knoxville, Tenn., to Newark, N.J., before being transferred to Washington, D.C., to work in the corruption division there.

So, maybe you want to work for the government but the IRS isn't your cup of tea? O'Reilly's story show what understanding numbers can do.
