i'm sure there is a topic like this somewhere but i can't find one that isn't really old.

what are you majoring in? a lot of people talk about school around here, but never about what they are even there for. i don't think i know what most people here are wanting to go into as a career.



yeah i know this should be in the school forum, but eh. i duno. mods can move this if they are really itching to do something.

do you really wanna do that? i mean do you think golly gee i love accounting when you're in class? i always wonder this about accountants. what made them want to do accounting.

LOL yeah accounting sounds terrible to people who don't do it. But it's actually not bad because it's more about managing and problem solving rather than trivial number-crunching, especially in the higher levels. There's definitely a stereotype associated with accounting, but my accounting prof was a Chartered Accountant before he taught and he's probably the most hilarious and sarcastic prof I've ever had!

Also I don't want to work in a lab or be a doctor and have never ever wanted to be an Arts major, so really Commerce was the only thing left. And out of the options in Commerce, accounting really fits my personality the best.

I've had this conversation running in my head for the past 2-3 years so I'm sure I made the right decision for myself...hopefully.

yeah my girlfriend's dad is an accountant and he's always telling me how it's like solving puzzles to him. not to me though. i took an accounting class in high school and that was all it took to know i wasn't cut out for it lol. it's not just accounting that puzzles me though, there are lots of jobs and i always wonder how people get interested in them.

and have never ever wanted to be an Arts major

hey watch it
