Teaching Accounting
Written by: Lydia Rosencrants
Have you ever thought about teaching accounting? Many professionals tell me that they have when they find out I’m a college professor. So if you’ve ever considered it but weren’t sure where to start, here’s the basics.
First of all, it’s important to note that college professors don’t just teach. In fact, if you go to most larger schools, you may not teach more than a few classes a year.

We all have periods of high stress and pressure, but surely busy season ranks up there near the top somewhere.

Introducing Lydia Rosencrants
Written by: Lydia Rosencrants
Has seven kids. Teaches accounting. Loves yoga and reading. Married to a saint. If you asked someone who knows me to describe me, that’s probably what you’d get. And it all happens to be true. I do have seven children, all adopted and all between the ages of 10 and 13. You’ll be reading this entry after they’ve gone back to school, but as I write, they’re tearing up my house, having grown bored with their Christmas presents already. Read the rest of this entry »
