The most helpful class by far must be CONSULTING!!!! Will we ever forget that debacle? Seriously, I would have to say
tax research. There are only two things I do, write really expensive tax planning memos and baby sit staff and seniors. Since
we didn't have a baby sitting class I will pick research. I think we should suggest to Larry that we add baby sitting 101
to the curriculum.

I hate to admit it, but I think it's our Consulting class. Sure I could name any tax class which I used on a daily
basis in the office, but Consulting helped make me a more well rounded person. Today I heard an HR person on the radio
talking about doing a Hug-Slap-Hug approach while talking to a co-work with whom you have an issue with. It's hard to
believe how right Ann was.

Sadly intro to accounting + Intermediate Accounting I. I do the accounting entries to make raw material into WIP
into FG into COGS. This may sound easy - but all I have to work with is excel - so I'm manually calculating FIFO every
audit to determine how much stock was produced in this year at this year's prices as opposed to last year's stock. It's
a pain in the butt, but the basics of accounting have really helped.

Bus law 2 - when Al Talarzcik said you should never propose on a significant date (i.e. birthday, anniversary or holiday)
because then it is considered a gift and you can't get the ring back.

I'd have to say, intro and intermediate accounting. I'm still end up talking many people through the basic debits/credits,
and what the balance sheet really means

Business Strategy w/ Mason Carpenter was my favorite class. Most used in my job? Unfortunately, I can't think
of any. I am not sure that I really got as much as I should out of my education in college - went through the motions,
but was more focused on running. Hindsight is 20/20.

I think the best, and hardest, class I took was Financial Accounting Theory. It required the most critical
thinking and problem solving of any business course I took, both of which are helpful when dealing with a screaming, irrational
child. Plus, when I read business or political articles I still find myself thinking, “But is that information
reliable? How is it verified? Is it timely?” It’s the only course I really wish I could take
again, just to sit and learn. Thank you, Professor Warfield.

Mason Carpenter's Business Strategy class was probably the most inspirational. Did some ABC when I first started
with AA, so I guess I have Ella Mae to thank? Still waiting for that ElderCare stuff to become useful.

I use Al Talarczek’s Tax Research class nearly every day. In fact, I still keep my text book in easy reach
to use as a reference. I’m so glad I took that class before I started working in earnest, because it gave me a
much better background and understanding of the research process than I would have been able to get on the job or in a seminar.
