It may not have been my main reason for <a href=\"https:\/\/therockysafari.com\/2014\/02\/13\/life-changing-revelation-bye-business-im-going-pre-med\/\">transferring out of Rutgers Business School<\/a> but I&#8217;d be lying if I did not admit that it was at least a contributing factor. I knew that by pursuing a different passion, I would never again need\u00a0to worry about taking a single class on &#8220;balance sheets,&#8221; &#8220;income statements,&#8221; and all of the other wonderful\u00a0accounting-lingo I did not understand.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, when I decided to minor in Entrepreneurship at Rutgers, I once again brought myself back to square one. Accounting for Entrepreneurs was\u00a0a requirement for the minor that I would now <strong>have to<\/strong> fulfill. No more running.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay, Rocky. You can do this. You have to.&#8221; I told myself.<\/p>\n<p>If you asked me at any point leading up to\u00a0this semester why I wanted to avoid accounting so badly, I probably\u00a0would\u00a0have rattled off a number of excuses:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Accounting is\u00a0too\u00a0systematic<\/li>\n<li>INFJs are very unlikely to choose careers in accounting<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t enjoy working with numbers<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m not detail-oriented enough to succeed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To put it plainly: I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d be any good at it. I was convinced my skill set did not align with the qualities required of a successful accountant. However, after completing one semester of an introductory course in accounting, I have to admit, <strong>most of my pre-conceived notions about accounting\u00a0were wrong<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I am by no means suggesting that I have what it takes to become an accountant. I still believe there are people out there in the world whose skills are better-suited for that type of work. However, <strong>I actually enjoyed learning about accounting<\/strong>. I thought I would hate the subject and I didn&#8217;t! I attribute much of my success\u00a0to my professor who was extremely organized, clear, and thoughtful in the design of the\u00a0course. It was very by-the-book and that\u00a0helped\u00a0facilitate my learning.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23490 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_2269-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"I Was Wrong About Accounting\" width=\"695\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=768,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_2269.jpg 1024w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=225,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_2269.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=576,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_2269.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1536,height=1152,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_2269.jpg 1536w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2048,height=1536,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_2269.jpg 2048w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=218,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_2269.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=305,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_2269.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=600,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_2269.jpg 800w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=384,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_2269.jpg 512w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1220,height=915,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_2269.jpg 1220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We covered A LOT of material\u00a0in the few short months that made\u00a0up the semester. Each\u00a0week, I knew our two classes\u00a0would follow a simple structure. First we&#8217;d have a\u00a0lecture on a new chapter, then we&#8217;d have a class to\u00a0review homework problems on the new material. I never missed a single lecture\u00a0(<a href=\"https:\/\/therockysafari.com\/2016\/10\/16\/last-minute-getaway-to-cancun\/\">except for\u00a0one when\u00a0I was outside of the country<\/a>) and I really learned a lot from the in-class lectures, textbook readings, and weekly online homework. I definitely gained an understanding for how accounting works, at least enough that I could monitor what is &#8220;going on&#8221; inside of a small business, which is fantastic\u00a0since that was a\u00a0main learning objective of the course.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23488 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0127-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Rutgers Accounting for Entrepreneruship\" width=\"695\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=768,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0127.jpg 1024w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=225,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0127.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=576,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0127.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1536,height=1152,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0127.jpg 1536w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2048,height=1536,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0127.jpg 2048w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=218,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0127.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=305,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0127.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=600,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0127.jpg 800w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=384,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0127.jpg 512w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1220,height=915,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0127.jpg 1220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the help of a\u00a0good friend who is also in the Entrepreneurship program at Rutgers, we tackled the material each week making sure we never fell behind. Before exams, we would study together and review all of the material. Having his\u00a0support outside of class also made the world of a difference.
