<p>Yeah typos really show that you have no intelligence. Thanks for pointing that out. </p>
<p>Did you ever think maybe you pay more attention in class/care more than these kids who study for 2 hours and do terribly?</p>
<p>I thought this thread was about accounting?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure typing your as you are isn't a typo. But yeah, the second one was.</p>
<p>I do care more, perhaps, but your argument is that hard work will carry through. I wouldn't say that I work harder than these people who spend a LONG time studying outside of class (btw, how can you assume that they dont care/pay attention? Obviously since they study hard, they want to succeed right?), and some subjects, I quite frankly don't care about, yet I do better than a lot of people in them simply because I'm smarter than them and still try hard enough to stay ahead. Ask my parents and they'll say I never work more than I have to, and ultimately, because I am a bit smarter than average (not a super genius, but still smarter than average), I do better than many people.</p>
<p>It was supposed to be about accounting, but personally, I think this is a way more interesting debate, even if it is one-sided :p</p>
<p>Then by all means, proceed.</p>
<p>I <3 people that find the need to prove their intelligence on message boards.</p>
<p>what a dramatic and useless statement</p>
<p>It's said that people who are good at accounting are supposedly quick minded and good with numbers. How would you define "being good with numbers" when only basic math is used. What kind of skills are necessary to be great with this major besides hard work? In other words, what kind of person fits perfectly with the major and would it be a good idea to go double major in chem/accounting?</p>
<p>chem/accounting? for what reason would you major in those two majors?</p>
<p>Chemical Accountant.</p>
<p>southpasdena that was directed sarcasticly at californialover for bragging about how he can ace all his tests without studying...I remember it being even more arrogant, maybe he edited it, or I just have crappy memory.</p>
<p>i like to make snide remarks for fun, don't take any offense please.</p>
<p>I’m an econ major but I imagine accounting can have some logic scenarios that are interesting. Not all challenging things require advanced mathematics. Describing a relationship, even algebraically, can be as difficult as a calculus problem. I think sometimes people think algebra is easy because they’re used to coursework where you’re just isolating a variable or getting the syntax down. Also, there are those who would say engineering and med school are a joke compared to real math & science programs (remember, MCAT is just intro science - also, engineers hardly ever have to do proofs). So many grey areas. I wonder if going into something “boring” like accounting offers unique opportunities for people who are gifted since it’s not considered a traditional “smart guy” major. Hmm… (I don’t speak from experience; just speculating)</p>
<p>There are opportunities like the technical interpretation of specific accounting pronouncements. Big 4 has the national team that deals with those issues, and recently there are accounting advisory services that provide guidance for those special circumstances. Overall, boring and easy.</p>
<p>A couple questions: im very interested in majoring in accounting. Im not great at math in general but i am very detail oriented, great at analyzing, planning, budgeting and solving. I would be majoring in accounting with a 4 year bachleor degree. My plan would be to see if i can be satisfied with that and kf necessary or i want to go further take the cpa. (That isnt my intention at first though). With an accounting degree is it releastic to work 9-5 (5/6 days a week) at a local bank and make 40,000-50,000? I want to have time for family etc but have a career as well. Also i have great people skills and communication. </p>
