I struggle to think of any other class that has the wide applicability and usefulness in everyday life that accounting has. Frankly, the 1000 and 2000 level classes should be required for any degree curriculum to help students succeed in the world outside of academia.

I feel like most of it I learned on my own well before I took that class, but I suppose for many that may not be the case.

I use what I learned in accounting more than any other class. I'm in construction management.

Not at all

English, philosophy, history, logic, etc are all far more useful in everyday life

That’s Econ not accounting. Economics is useless outside of academia. They brain wash students with Keynesian theory and don’t bother exposing the flaws or other theories such as Austrian or MMT.

Judging by the Disney thread, basic accounting and finance courses should be mandatory well before college.

That’s some queer shite. College should be for welding, construction management, and engineering.

Luckily, humans are not limited to one subset of knowledge.

Money management is just as important as being able to understand the history of human development.
