You would have loved taking one of my midterm or semester final exams in accounting.

It was rumored that he thought of the questions on the walk to the classroom. Always consisted of 5 essay questions.

Here's the kicker: the first sentence of your answer on two, if not three of those questions started with, "based on the information you've given me, I cannot answer the question." Then you explained why.

I had that professor for over 30 semester hours. Not only did I receive a major in public accounting, I earned an unofficial minor in critical thinking. Oh yeah, he never used numbers, either.

Now I deal with managers and owners who think all you have to do is let QuickBooks do the work for you. There is little or no thought that goes behind the numbers with canned programs.

Accounting is a dinosaur, thanks to AI and computer programs.
