no, i don't need help with my taxes. I am taking an introductory accounting course and I like it a lot. Unfortunately, I am not in the business school and it would take a lot of years to get through the program (I'm almost done with my degree) My question is, do you NEED an accounting degree to get into a firm or does, say, a BA in economics and minor in mathematics get the job done? I imagine that having a few accounting courses is at least a good start. Thanks yo.
