Economics and Accounting
I am now in both Accounting and Economics at the same time. I was looking forward to these classes, in a way, because I thought they’d be more objective than Organizational Behavior. I was thinking in OrgBeh, but it was much more personal — how can I apply these theories to improve myself and my work? That got a little too close to home sometimes.
I will need to think in Accounting and Econ, too, but it will be more concrete. We’ll have actual tests and, in Accounting at least, we’ll have real numbers that need to match. I had a full year (2 semesters) of Accounting in undergrad, which helps a lot. Unfortunately, by chapter 4 (week 2 of class), I’ll be all the way through the review of what I’ve already learned. Chapters 5-16 will be new. And exciting. New and exciting. Keep telling yourself that….
