K fizzle - Ain't me...

There is also something to be said about the degree of subjectivity involved in those disciplines. The ability to make decisions with incomplete information is critical for managerial and executive roles. That is the greatest weaknesses I see in accounting and engineering majors who are trained to plug and play with equations.


You got it. Very little objectivity, actually...

Well when you work in engineering and accounting as an entry level shtick that's what you do. Its not a weakness, they're preparing you for the job. The job itself prepares you to make management decisions, and it definitely does it 1000000000000000000000x better than a sterilized class environment at school can. I've only got 2 years of experience and I don't work in an accounting role anymore as its more finance-based, but I promise you that everything we do is fraught with subjectivity.

eta: and yes I'm totally slacking off today.
