Hi,
I’m deciding on a major and I am going towards accounting because of the great job opportunities. I was interested in studying business administration, but I did some research online and discovered that would not be a great idea. I’m stuck at this point. my ultimate goal is to make great money and hopefully one day I can make 6 figures.
Thoughts?
Take an intro accounting class and see what you think. The math isn’t very complicated. But it is picky and requires precision. Not everyone likes it. My dad (who is very smart) thought it was hard. I thought it wasn’t very hard, but I also didn’t think it was very interesting.
@intparent Do you think I should take ACCT101 or ACCT201? I am currently enrolled to take Accountnig201 which is Principles of Accounting I (Financial) in the fall
What is the title of the other class?
@PrincessL I think take accounting 201 because principles of financial accounting is the typical starting accounting course.
@intparent
ACCT 101 - Practical Accounting I ACCT 101 - Practical Accounting
Description:
(Formerly ACCT 110) Introduces students to basic accounting concepts and procedures, emphasizing sole proprietors. Topics include analysis of business transactions and completion of the accounting cycle, including preparation of financial statements. Students will be introduced to computers.

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking as well. 
Do both of the courses satisfy core requirements for the accounting major? If not, pick the one that does. Introductory accounting does not require higher level math, but it does require good memorization skills, and basic arithmetic, and being able to do math in your head definitely helps with that.
