A Happy Thanksgiving to All and your Love Ones. In particular, to the V's and to Anonymous!In response to the last posting by Anonymous (nickname, "Anon"): While you do not need me to say so, allow me to do so: You are to be commended for all that you are doing! Most people can barely do one thing, such as the job, or raising a family, or pursuing an education. Some can do two of the three.

Manny: What is needed to prepare for the first Accounting course is an open mind - which you have - and a "can do" attitude - which you have - and a little bit of hard work - which you also have.That's really it. There is nothing to fear. No real heavy-duty math. Just lots of talk about business and then "rules" on how to structure one's thinking about business. Almost like Business Law!

Temise: Thank you for your comments. Good to hear from you, and glad to see that you see the value in knowing some Accounting. The "shame" of Accounting is that it really gets interesting when it is used in conjunction with running a business, and not just at the initial learning curve stage which is always steep to get through. I really wish the High School systems would include a basic "

The Finance and Accounting Association hosted a Presentation the evening of May 14th at the Garrett Mountain Campus which by all "accounts" - no pun intended! - was a big success. With close to 25 students in attendance, the evening's Presentation by a Representative of Becker Professional Review was fun and relaxing as well as informative. Clearly all the pizza and soda eaten was testimony to

There's an old saying that, if you ask 10 people, you'll get 11 opinions, on almost any topic. But there is one thing that nearly every one is in agreement about: when it comes to Accounting, the student has to hit the ground running!Why is that? Is it so hard, so tough? Sure, everyone - myself included! - says learning Accounting is like learning a new language. Is that what makes it so

So "what" is this thing called Accounting all about? Well, the earliest known written records of mankind were of lists of "goods and things" in connection with what was owned by kings and warlords and the like, and of their exchanges of things - sheep, corn, silk, jewels, and "stuff" like that. Fast forward a few thousand years and commerce really picked up, to the point that people no longer
