"People think that accounting and taxation are about doing problems and calculations, and that's not the case at all. I'm writing formal memoranda on court cases, on fact patterns that I was given, trying to figure out what the outcome should be, who should win, the government or the taxpayer, things like that. The professors will demand a lot from you, but they will work with you, they want to help you, they want you to understand what they are talking about, and most of them are very excited about what they are talking about. They work in the field every day."
