"People think that when studying accounting or taxation all we do is sit down and work on problems or calculations; that's not the case at all. I'm writing formal memorandums on court cases, on fact patterns that I was given, and trying to figure out what the outcome should be and who should win鈥攖he government or the taxpayer, and things like that. The professors at 桃瘾社区 demand a lot from you, but they will work with you. They want to help you and most of them are excited about what they are talking about. They work in the field every day." 鈥擬egan Ehrlich 鈥15, Senior Tax Accountant, Citrin Cooperman
