People hate stats so if you love it youll be good for jobs
Math is just learned, study and do problems and you'll get better at it

Thanks. I am a nerd about numbers in a stastical sense and I'm becoming very interested in taxation and government policy so I thought it would be a good practical choice for me.
The only problem is going to be finding the time for all these classes and finding a way to somehow pass Calculus or Matrix Algebra. Which is easier for someone who hates math?

You are probably not going to have a problem understanding either, because you really sound like you have the curiosity, anon. If you need extra practice, the teachers are probably available for extra classes!

Statistics is very mathy if you actually want to be able to say that you understand statistics.
t. Mathematician
Go to actuarial school if you like statistics.
Actually any hard science involving quantitative analysis.
Accounting is mostly memorizing tax laws and filling out spreadsheets. Boring, pays like shit, and you'll get cucked if the people you work for see pulling shady shit.

Yeah the thing about math was always lack of interest for me. I never envisioned going into math field so i never really put my best foot forward cause I didn't think I would ever need it in a career sense.
That changed when I took statistics after I figured out I needed another math credit to get my bachelor of arts. I didn't want to take another algebra class so they let me take statistics 100 and I surprisingly liked it. It was just a matter of remembering the terminology but I noticed it got a lot deeper and a lot harder below the surface.

All you do is work with math in accounting. As I understand it you do basic math every day but the rules are what makes accounting what it is. And as far as classes go, I guess it just depends where you're going.
I'm about to drop all my artsy fuckboi classes and get into the accounting prog at my uni and it looks like their only math requirements are College Algebra (which I've already passed) and either Business Calc or Matrixing Algebra

>All you do is work with math in accounting.
No, all you do in accounting is arithmetic.
>accounting major
>don't like math
pick one faggot

i mean if you want to call basic arithmetic math then sure...
business calc sounds like watered down precalc so probs pick that if you want an easy time
