So, if you had your druthers. Which courses in these 2 areas were the most important to you and/or which are the most important to your business.

I have a unique opportunity to affect the curriculum of our local community college by serving on their advisory board. Care to help?

Accounting 101. - If you truley understand your first accounting courses the rest is easy.

No idea on the computer side.  We pay people to deal with that nonesense.

Anything to do with Networks(MCSE, MCSA, CNA, CCNA etc.)

Another is the Basics of fixing a damn computer, certified A+.....

you don't have to get certified, just get the course and learn WHAT IS!!!!

just like most people driving a car couldn't fix a damn flat tire, just the Basics

The basic intro to computers, teaches the basic elements of the modern day computer and also gives some history.

Microsoft Office class (XP/2002 or 2000) - teaches how to use Excel, Word, Powerpoint, and Access.

Microsoft Windows 2000 professional class (if you can use 2000, you can use XP) that uses the Windows 2000 MCSE book.

I took some classes that I will never use or need to remember anything from. Introduction to Operating Systems (knew everything already), Data Communications I and II (mostly worthless, good for teaching the different forms of internet connections, intranet vs internet, protocols and the classification of networks, OSI model - uhm, won't be using that... evar). Intro to Unix - OKAY to know if you use Unix at the school. Don't need unless you are doing a Networking track. Programming, eh... haven't used any of that and more than likely won't be. I did C though, pretty good language to take if you are interested in computers.

Windows 2000 Professional is typically a 300 level course tho. Everything else I listed is 100 to 200.

Accounting 101

Microsoft Office Excel,Word etc.

Two togther go very well.

MCSE,CNA stuff is far to advanced if it's for beginners. At most MCP.

Then again I work on Tandems so what do I know. :-)
