Does Accounting Ever Get Interesting?

<p>The class is a case class. The instructor lectures, you read the case, analyze the case, do any calculations that the individual in the case is struggling with…etc And then you turn the case in and the instructor shows you how you were supposed to do it. I love case classes. At the end of one of the cases, the instructor told us what actually happened to the company due to the management’s decision (the company went under). It was quite cool. </p>

<p>Covers stuff like WACC, forecasting, business valuation, options, why the price of stock fluctuates and other stuff… I like it because instead of just learning how to account for stuff, you learn how to make the decisions - which is very interesting. Although truth be told, I would not want to work in corporate finance. Finance is so much more subjective, hence why I would not want to work in finance, than accounting is because finance deals with the future.</p>
