I paid $75 for another six month extension on my second, and final, semester at Penn Foster College. I am still working my way through the Managerial Accounting course. Part of the reason for my procrastination in finishing this course is that I absolutely hate accounting.
I'm not alone. My brother-in-law actually has a bachelor's degree in accounting. He is, however, not currently working as an accountant. He worked as an accountant for about a year, and said it was the most boring year of his life. He is currenlty working for a temp agency, doing various office duties.
I do have a vested interest in finishing my remaining three courses at Penn Foster College. These are courses that I will eventully need to transfer to my BA in Communications program at Andrew Jackson University. At the time, PFC didn't offer bachelor degree programs, otherwise I may have considered staying the course with PFC.
The beginning of the Managerial Accounting course mainly consisted of reading assignments, but now I am getting into the portion of the course that requires work on balance sheets, and there is a math component to this. Remembering how to fill out the balance sheet is my main obstacle to working my way through this course at a faster pace.
Personally, when I am working on a course I do not like, I find the best way to get through it is to do it as quickly as possible, and just get it over and done with. Doing that, and getting good grades at the same time, well...that's a different story. I am hoping to keep increasing my grade point average at PFC so it doesn't drag down my GPA when I transfer the courses to AJU.
Back to the grind.
