Probably nothing... unless it's real heavy on accounting.
Well that and student loans.

accounting could be fun and interesting, now alot of accounting is done with computers so i wonder if it pays more

Thanks to Sarbanes-Oxley (aka the Job Security for CPAs Act), there will be lots of work for CPAs for the foreseeable future. Get your CPA and a law degree, and you can just about write your own ticket.

You will prolly have your standard algebra's and stuff but nothing too hard. Thats the beauty of accounting its just add, subtract multiply and divide... Thats it

Well the degree itself isn't going to do a whole lot for you with out any experience. So while your in school do anything you can to get some practical experience, even if it's an unpaid internship. This will also help you to start building contacts in the business world. Also start looking at the types of jobs your interested in once your done with school and see what they are looking for. A degree in Public Administration can lead to some good paying positions, check it out.

They get a bad rap and have negative stereotypes, but getting hooked up with a frat can be a big help once your out of school. Anywhere you go there are people who will help you out just because your one of the boys

He'll at least have to go through Calculus II for Truck Drivers, err, Business Majors. A surprising amount of accounting math (interest calculations, f'rinstance) comes out of calculus.

I will agree with you but its not really presented in a way like that...I guess it seems less threatening when its just dealing with money...

And I didnt have to take calc II just a basic algebra course
