I dont miss waking up at 5:30am, I dont miss the 3 hours of commuting a day, I dont miss the tie, I dont miss being fake (my biggest pet peeve of the corporate world). I dont miss the back stabbing coworkers, I dont miss the $7 sandwiches in Midtown, I dont miss "The Man". I dont miss having my emails read, and phone calls recorded.

Id say the only thing I miss are 4 or 5 people I had become friends with, but hey thats what phones are for.

may others have learned your lesson. That being said, I've gone three years without a job, but am also thinking about picking up something part time, cause I kinda miss it.

Tell them that you tried to start up a consulting business in accounting that didn't pan out.

Tell them the truth and explain it's taught you a lot about life.

You'll be better qualified than some geek who went straight from uni into a job and has never actually dealt with another human being on a professional basis.
