Finance Courses, Difficult or dependent?

[PHeller]

Are financial courses difficult?

Reason being I'm transfering from Harrisburg Area Community College into a PA State Higher Education school (Millersville) with an Associates in Business, and tons of my courses from HACC fit into the Finance major. I would only require about another 39 credits or so from the 4-year school in order to get my bachelors, and since Financial stuff is demand these days, I thought that might be a better move than just straight Administration.

This interested me because I was thinking (and I'm admitted into) going for Environmental Geography next semester, and getting a Finance Minor, maybe even a CAD Minor, but if I'm less than a year away from a much more high salary job in Finance...well...I could also go back to school for Geography when I'm making the big bucks!

Problem is, I didn't excel at Accounting all that much. Barely passed. I'm much better at understanding theory and applying it to decision making then I am "doing the books".

Thoughts?

Good plan. I have 3 degrees because a lot of the courses overlapped and it took only another year to pick up the extra classes for the 2nd and 3rd degrees. It helps to pad the resume and may give you an edge after interviews.

Of course, that extra year was full-time, 8 hours of classes every day with no summer break (a lot of students took off summers at that school and just extended their stay there).

It wasn't always easy since I worked 60-70 hours 3rd shift while attending school all day, but it was worth it. 10 hours of a sleep a week is doable when you're young. :D
