Do you know I'd love to do a higher level of both classes, they were quite low level although with the economics we had to make graphs and work out figures as well, I forget a lot of it now though it was part of a print managment course but they were superb and I really found it easy. Economics was so interesting.
Hmmm food for thought I've given myself ideas. ![]() |

Financial accounting is basically about orderly definitions that tell you how to put real life transactions into the right boxes. Managerial accounting is a bunch of common sense notions about how segments of a business that are profitable should be kept going, while unprofitable ones should be shut down. Intro level accounting courses are designed for dimwits. They move slowly and aren't hard. The intermediate courses in financial accounting bring some rigor and precision to the general ideas presented before.
Microeconomics is a rather hollow way of looking at the world that contains some good hueristics for understanding how capitalism works. Macroeconomics is a bunch of intricate tripe that doesn't work very well. Your professor matters far more in economics than in accounting. |
