Please tell me....what does biology have to do with accounting. I am finishing up my bachelors in accounting and I am required to take a biology class. I am not a science person now or in the past or ever will be. When will I ever use this knowledge that I am struggling to understand. I am an accountant and I love numbers and absolutes. I do not understand theories and experiments. I didn't like biology in high school and I really don't like it now.
I know, I'm whining. lol Thanks for letting me vent.

I dunno, Bizzle. Looking up the Sliding Filament Theory and memorizing it when your degree is in say, Business Management, might actually be a waste of time! (No, offense dearie!) I TOTALLY understand why colleges and universities want us to take all these satellite classes and I can say it without actually even actually "spelling" anything: $$

Re: wyldechild write: LOL, how frustrating. Bet it was a whiz to pass though!!! I think what is most annoying is paying for a class that you could easily test out of.

wyldechild write: Yeah, icky was right.
LOL, well rounded education. When I went back to school for micro computer programming, one of the required classes was intro to computers. I laughed so hard when I read the course description. It was learning what the monitor was, keyboarding, using a mouse, etc. Here I had been working with PCs and Macs since the mid 80's, have certifications in dbase mgmt, networking exp, etc. and they want to teach me how to use a computer. LOL. Thankfully I was able to sign a waiver and substitute something else for the credits. Although when I think about it now, would have made for an easy A...LOL

I'm quite certain it's for the times you have those clients that are so INSANELY stupid, that there can only be ONE explanation-- and you learned it in Biology: They are genetically inclined to Idiocy.

I feel for you! I think the conventional answer is that, even after 13 years of public school, we still need some reinforcement of our general knowledge. And, to play devil's advocate, as adults, when compared to other developed countries, we often show a lack knowledge.
It s*cks. Hope you get a professor who can make it fun! AND, just think, you don't have to do this when you get your Masters! Whee!

Oh Stacey - I haven't a clue of the relation between biology and accounting and when you know I need to know for my son who is in his first year of accounting and has no interest in science. So you can understand them makeup of the bean counters or figure out the tax man? No idea - sorry.
