How to prepare to taking Accounting in Aug. '07?

Question

I would like to know how hard it will be for me to major in Accounting?

I’m not used to studying hard. I’m used to being the “lazy student” and barely passing. I love Math but I took Calculus 1 and I didn’t pass it because I couldn’t keep up with how fast the class (the class wasn't hard it was just too fast) was moving when I was in College. I also took Microeconomics and I was lost in that class, I just didn't get it and found it boring. I have a very bad memory, I don't like to read too much, my writing skills are bad not horrible and I have a hard time concentrating when I’m trying to study.

Any advice how I can achieve the above or any options on what I should do, like any book that might prepare me or any advice?

Thank you ;-)

Answer 1

With all those things you said about yourself, I don't think you are suitable to major in accounting. Accounting is very different from math, it's not only about figures, at higher level, you have to memorise all the accounting standards. And these standards are constantly being updated.

Well, I think nothing about accounting is interesting, it's just a method for people to account their business. This would be a good career just to earn a living, you have to work hard, keep on upgrading yourself about all the technical stuff. Kinda boring though... just think about this...
