Good majors besides STEM

[moa213]

I majored in Accounting so I had all the courses. I had a finance course, some business law classes and finite math (which is like a Statistics course but a little easier). Intermediate Accounting is the hardest and is considered the 'weed out' course. The tax class was tough as well. Advanced accounting wasn't too bad.

I only have my bachelors and a couple of certs (government - CGFM and CDFM). If you plan on having your CPA you'll have to take a few more accounting courses at the graduate level. Many schools have a 4+1 plan...bachelors in accounting, masters in accounting...that will qualify your needs to sit for the CPA.

I have barchelors in accounting how can I get into the government sector as an auditor or regular staff accountant? You can give me advise

Try Radiologist, elevator mechanic, or programmer, but you have to have somewhat of a passion for what you do...

"Good" is subjective...but as far as employable...id say with education/teaching and social work...you're pretty much guaranteed to get a job from the gate.

As far as profitable? I'd say finance and accounting

have to disagree. it depends on your professor. I took business cal and it was the hardest class i have ever taken, but it was due to the professor. there was no "business" in the math. the exams would always be three, maybe four problems, that were always more advanced than the homework problems. you had to get ahead in the textbook and go over things he had not covered to figure the shyt out. it was extremely easy to fail. i swear to god more than half the class dropped the course, and the rest of us absolutely LIVED in the tutoring lab. i wouldve dropped it but i dropped another class that semester and had to stay in for lose my financial aid.

this professor was like a math genius but man he was a shyt teacher. i barely survived with a C since he did at least grade on a curve. never in my life have i had to put that much effort into a class to get a damn C.

Yes, I agree that one's experience in any college course is dependent upon the professor. That said, it sounds like you went into the course misinformed. Business Calc is just a watered down version of a general Calculus course. You still have to study the core of Calculus i.e. limits, derivatives, and integration. The amount of application material (Business in this case) is purely down to the professor's discretion. If Business Calc was hard for you....

If it was hard for me what .....

bytch n!gga you weren't in the class to try and judge. The mofo got so many complaints he was forced into retirement the very next semester by the school. You must be one of those STEM pretend like you're smarter than everyone ass nikkas

Well, that didn't take long. If it was hard for you, then it was hard for you. You think you're the only one who has had a bad experience with an overzealous or just an outright awful professor?

Not quite. I'm pale in comparison to many others. I know of quite a few people who think engineers don't even study "real" Math i.e. no proof courses, which invariably upsets the targeted party. There are similar applications to the various disciplines within engineering and the pure sciences; example: studying Biology instead of Chemistry/Physics. It's not that big of a deal. It's all just jokes.

 

[Jatigi]

I just want y'all to know that if you only plan to do a bachelors, pure science is not the way to go at all.

Law ... anyone telling you something else is selling you some bullshyt ...

Edit

Everything else will involve math

Lol I'm telling you bruh, I worked my ass off and still did horrible in my math classes. That's when I knew.

that said, OP you shouldnt worry that much about the math. i doubt your experience will be the same. all you need is statistics and business cal to satisfy math for a business degree. you probably arent as bad as math as you think you are. you just need it explained in a way that clicks for you. there are so many resources online and you can always schedule some one on one time with your professor or their assistant, or get in the tutoring lab like I did. if you want it bad enough you will find a way. anything worth achieving is going to take some hard work. it seems like some of yall just want to be handed a degree. you have to go and earn it.

and you CAN get an associates (AAS) in fields such as HVAC. those can then be transferred to 4 year schools when you can get a BAAS.

Finance.

You went on rate my professor or something? What makes it easier than pre calc?

I dont respect most comments on ratemyprofessor, just a bunch of kids complaining and dont want to actually work, they are soft brats IMO.
Precalcus covered mich more sections and topics which will translate well to regular calculus 1. You do all the trigonometric equations, logs amd algebra in precalc and then get to business calculus and they are doing basic optimization questions that you cam easily answer with an derivative of some kind. For me business calc was eaiser because it finally just made sense to me after mastering pre calc, its almost like the puzzle became clear. You not forced to remember all the trig idenities and what have you in business calc, its straight forward and just goes over the basics.

I have bachelors in accounting how can I get into the government sector as an auditor or regular staff accountant? You can give me advise

Sure.

Head over to usajobs.com and make an account. That's where you'll search for government jobs there.
Unless you're a vet you will have to use the "Open to the public" option.

I'm guessing you're looking for intro level jobs. Some agencies have career ladders at the entry level: GS 7-11. Start out as a 7, after a year you'll get to 9 and then finally end up at 11 (Some auditor ladders go to GS-12). But you don't have to do that route (I didn't)...put in for any job that you think you can get.

Note: Bullet point resumes don't really work with the government. Use paragraph form.

Also, where are you located? Some areas have openings right now:

Accountant Recent Graduate, ZA-0510-II

Here is a listing of all current Accountant and Auditor jobs open to the public:
USAJOBS - Search

You may also want to select the 0501 series (Financial Administration and Program). You could get some of those jobs with your degree as well.

Would yall recommend taking calculus as an online class?

 

[moa213]

Thanks, I leave in NYC and I will work on it over the weekend.
