Masters in Bemoaning Accounting (MBA)

Began the second year of my MBA program earlier this week. One of my courses this quarter, Managerial Accounting: Strategic Cost Management, is needed for an accounting elective requirement. After taking Introduction to Financial Accounting the first year, it became quite clear that accounting was not an area that held much deep personal interest. Sure discretion and judgement play a part in the field, but for the most part, it remains a highly mechanical, rule-based discipline that limits innovation and creative thinking. Maybe that's why most of the professional accountants that I have met are self-effacing. For the next ten weeks, I'll have to bear with it. One bean, two beans, three beans... oye.
