A friend of mine just left a prestigious auditor job in accounting. I asked him how much of his degree was useful to him. He said that he could have been fine with a class or two and maybe some hand holding for the first six months. That really struck me.
Because I have a job related to accounting right now. Most of the knowledge is on-the-job training. How much you can learn in a class room setting is limited.

Why did you assume he's right?
