<p>Only took 1 art history to fulfill my art requirement.</p>
<p>as for business I have taken Macro/micro econ and marketing.</p>
<p>If the one art history class you took was easier than intermediate accounting I & II, then why would you say that art history is harder than business?</p>
<p>I didn't, I ment to say that the art history was harder than the accounting for me. Im sorry for my typo. it was meant to be wasent instead of was.</p>
<p>intermediate accounting is usually a 300 level course, 200 usually equals financial and managerial</p>
<p>well not at my school. the book said Intermediate accounting on the cover.</p>
<p>well what school do you go to? if you go to a really low-quality school it might just mean that your business profs are jokes and theyre not teaching anything worthwhile and hold really easy classes.</p>

In which case the point of "business being easy" is thoroughly reinforced. Nice.</p>
<p>I am guessing he is at U Buffalo? Either way, i have looked over the suny and cuny class catalogs before, and accounting 1/2 are 200 level classes, so in other words, they are beginning classes. There are classes that use intermediate accounting books but that means nothing, it is still an intro class</p>
<p>You don't skip intro financial/managerial and go straight to intermediate; it just proves you are full of it.</p>
<p>And Mr. Payne; you should be studying! Engineering is the most difficult major in the world.</p>

In many lower-tiered schools, buisness is often a fluff major. I don't think many would dispute that.</p>
<p>In upper-tier schools, buisness can be very competitive.</p>
<p>engineering majors are weak compared to business majors--that is why they get paid less</p>
<p>doubt that, nobody makes more starting than engineers.</p>
<p>but you guys end up with less ending salary. (and last time I checked, most I-Bankers made more starting salary than engineers, but I will let it slide for the moment.)</p>
<p>business majors are hard for a different reason. while business students to be as book-smart as engineering students, they surely are required to develop high analytical skills, communication skills, interpersonal ability, creativity etc. Business majors are not as technology/science oriented as engineering majors but we do put more emphasis on human interaction and effective communcation.</p>
<p>and sorry, engineers don't really change the world. Except for a select few (Ph.D and beyond) in MIT, CalTech and a couple of top-notch engineer schools, most (especially B.S) end up being salesmans. </p>
<p>mechanical engineering = refrigerator salesman. if you're lucky ps3 salesman.
civil engineering = sprinkler salesman.
electrical engineering = lamp salesman.
chemical engineering = paint salesman.</p>
<p>business = we own these companies.</p>

<p>Not true at all. If you have a bad physics prof that teaches you nothing that you need to know, his classes could be easy. This would not make engineering easy, would it?</p>
<p>Accounting major = $53,500 starting salary for a 22 year old kid and 13% raises year after year. I can't complain.</p>
<p>"Accounting major = $53,500 starting salary for a 22 year old kid and 13% raises year after year. I can't complain."</p>
<p>Expect that to drop. The demand for accountants is not going to rapidly increase like it has in the past few years. As more and more people major in accounting, the average starting salary will drop.</p>
<p>No, you are wrong.Most people are not smart enough to major in Accounting with a 3.9 or pass the CPA. </p>
<p>I actually got a upward revision in my signing bonus and base and I didn't even start yet. Please get the facts before you make a statement..</p>
<p>Two thing : Big Four job + CPA = Well off for life. End of story.LOL</p>
<p>hey shawn whats accounting salaries like after say 10 years at the Big4? Assuming you stay all 10 years ( I've heard most people leave due to the pressure and long hours.)</p>
<p>If you work 10 years at Big Four, then you will most likely be a partner and you would make 600K+ guarenteed. Yes theres a lot of turnover at Big 4, because the work is stressful, but the experience gained at Big 4 is very valuable. Personally, I only plan on staying for 3 years.</p>
