Most marketing, econ, finance, IS, mgmt will require accounting. Have you tired tutors, study groups etc.?

account is not for everyone. especially smart people. all you need is do it over AND OVER to make you get it right. smart people will find that tedious as hell and fail.....
you are probably over qualified for accounting. do something else.

you couldn't be study for what you want to do than what you like to study. most people will agree on this. open up your eyes.

anyways, if for business, how about industrial engineering?

I avoid business school at all cost, economics major here.

D.W.W.: college and university are different in U.S. too :p

ex.

University: Virginia Tech
College: Pamplin College of Business.

In Canada, colleges are what we call community colleges in the US.

Thank you for that completely irrelevant and unrelated post. :disgust:

Seems pretty relevant to me and directly related to that post, especially since XietyCOM has it a bit different. Pamplin College of Business is a part of Virginia Tech (its business school). It's not a community college, unless you consider an MBA something you obtain from a community college :roll:

The world needs doers and thinkers. That is my answer to your statement.
