| I hated accounting too in college, and was failing miserably, and my wonderful brother-in-law sat me down & made me really understand it. I ended up getting an "A" in the class thanks to him. I wish I could say equally glowing things about statistics but that class made me change my major from business back to art. Which ended up being the best thing I did in school. |

the math itself is no problem for me, i used to do calc homework in my head, it's just time consuming and when there's multiple problems with the same #, you wind up having to guess which one will get you a grade. |
I was an accounting major until COST accounting.
The professor had little glasses she would peer over and look at you and demand and answer. The only thing missing was a little witch hat. I ran to the Dean's office and changed majors to Business Management. Loved it. And stop whining Ed and change majors to Nursing. Look how wonderful it turned out for me and Tasker's Mom. We don't wear little glasses either....... (And we drive hot sports cars and leave accountants in the dust....... )

| Hey now....
I'm an accountant...I don't wear little glasses and I have a sports car! Actually I used to laugh at all the management majors in my business general ed classes whining about how hard their entry level accounting classes were...while we were studying derivatives and hedging in Advanced Financial. I agree you will either love it or hate it...that was me when I was in the engineering program...could do it, just hated it. Stick with it, you will survive. And if you can, find a good study group!!! |
| I didn't realize you went back to school. School in the summer. YUCK. I guess I missed something I thought you got a job. Vent away. You're very entertaining anyway. |

Good luck on the MBA program. Its not easy working full time and studying for an advanced degree. It will be worth the time and work invested  |
 HELLO?! Accountant here!!!! Some people just get accounting, some don't! I had a brilliant friend in college...pre-med. He really was brilliant! But then, he had to take an accounting class, and was so lost. He barely made it through.I do wear glasses (but Im getting old eyes). But when I started, I WAS HOT !!!! Now....I just have hot flashes (power surges, as I like to call them  .) So don't pre-judge all accountants.-Ed, hang in there. One day the fog will clear, and you'll say, "OH! I get it now!  ) |
| Hey, I'm an accountant and I don't think I 'm hard to llok at. (So I've been told).
It's hard work, some people get accounting others don't. It will all make sense eventually. I wear glasses too but no sports car just an SUV. |
| Soory Ed... I'd like to help, but all math except normal people stuff gives me hives. But I'm sending you all sorts of stupid accounting book sympathy! |
| casearoo! I looked at your pictures, and yes! You are cute...and don't like a sterotypical accountant (me either). However, I'm very concern about your dog. I think he has bird flu! He's got a beak and feathers! EEEK! That is just about one of the funniest pictures I've ever seen!!!! |
| It's a cute pic. Easter time. |
| When in doubt, charge to goodwill.
Debits go by the window, and the window is on the left. |
Ha ha, Ron. You desk must be in the same position as mine  |
| The first was a joke, the second I always thought was a tenet of the profession; It was explained to me that in the old days the windows in an acounting room (actually any writing room) were always on the left so as not to cast a shadow from the writing hand (in a righties' centric world, of course). So remembering "The debits go by the window" put the debits properly on the left.
But in a good search, I could not come up with a single occurance of "debits go by the window" "debits go out the window" or "debits go next to the window". Am I misquoting it somehow, or is it that passe' or was someone just pulling my leg maybe? It had to be 20 years ago. I do not have an academic background in accounting, but I worked on many computer accounting systems, and had to learn about way more than I ever wanted to know about ledger entries, T accounts, wash sales, Yield to Maturity, Yield at Cost, position valuation, cost basis accounting (I ran a system called Cost Basis Accounting that produced AVERAGE cost basis for mutual fund positions. Ugh) Nostro accounts, vostro accounts, TDAs, DDAs, Bills, Bonds, Notes, IOUs, Casino Chips |
| The saying comes from a VERY old accounting joke. Something about an accountant changing jobs, and all of the sudden all of his journal entries were incorrect. Because (of course) his desk was different and the windows were now on the right. Standard accounting, as you said, debits/left credits/right. Sorry...its really a very bad, very old joke. Sorta like greenside up. |
| My accounting system has two piles, pay now and pay later |
