How many of you just stare at a spreadsheet all day?

I have a few reports to run here and there but for the most part I just stare at a blank spreadsheet all day and pretend to work

how much of our economy is people just staring at spreadsheets?

I have another question to add to OP's: how many hours of productive work do spreadsheet monkeys actually do in one week?

What majors bring jobs that typically result in spread sheet viewing?

All I can think of is accounting.

I'm willing to try it for a few years out of uni. I like staring at spreadsheets and analyzing things.

Where should I apply with a B.S. Finance?

The hiring process is the justification, any results are probably taken as incidental. At the end of the day half of the economy is busy-work done for the sake of it probably

starting at spreadsheets is different from staring at a blank spreadsheet like OP apparently does.
