Isn’t accounting an easy major?

For who
Posted on 10/14/25 at 8:29 am to MtVernon
For someone with an actual STEM degree. Who else?

Sure, but undergraduate accounting majors aren't STEM necessarily

I’m not saying accounting is stem.

Accounting is challenging for the person that's in it.
An Engineer would be suicidal from all the tediousness and mundane math.
A Psychologist would be suicidal from being too stupid to understand it.

Tell yourself an academic experience is the same from ole miss to Florida lol
I knew plenty of those Texans who flocked to ole miss for the automatic admission. They ALL said it was less academically stressful than high school.
You're telling me that kids from Texas claim that Texas is better at something than another state? Well that settles it then.
For what it's worth, I'm not arguing that the University of Texas = Ole Miss across the board. Texas obviously has superior research spend and a bigger brand name, which allows it to cast a wider net and attract talented staff and students. My point is that if I was an 18-year old kid from Mississippi who wanted to stay in-state, Ole Miss offers an experience that would be substantially the same as going to the University of Texas. In fact, Ole Miss may be a superior choice simply due to the proximity and connection with its large alumni base locally.
These undergraduate programs at large, public universities simply aren't that different from one another. I firmly believe that for most students, picking a location that makes sense to them matters at least as much as the relative pedigree of the school ... with maybe a caveat for a truly talented student that has very high aspirations (medical school, for example - where it is so competitive that the perceived prestige of an undergraduate program can matter more).

Well written and from an experience perspective I agree with you. However, from an academic rigor perspective I can say first hand that is false.
I went to Tech for a year to try it out and then back to Texas, trust me they were not even close to the same.
Also of the 10+ people I spoke with who went from Texas high school to Ole Miss they noted that by and large the expectations were significantly lower and the general population of student was not nearly as intelligent as what they were use to. That happens when you let 98% of your population into a state university. Sounds like its a legislative issue and not the fault of Ole Miss or Miss State. Either way this isn't me thumbing my nose, its just a reality.
Same as I am sure the average student at Stanford, probably even Vanderbilt, and of course Ivy League is more academic focused and likely more difficult academic rigor for undergraduate programs.

What's wrong with a wide entrance and a narrow exit? How good is a school that only admits diamonds and graduates diamonds? What about schools that admit some coal and graduate them as diamonds?

go on web dev, flex those javascript skills.
First off, I don't know why you are hating on web developers. I've been a full stack developer for over 20 years, and I guess you are for some reason hating on front end developers since you mention javascript? Although I prefer typescript, but whatever.
I have no doubt that you have at multiple times in your life used technology I've created.
But web development is not what you'll find me giving many interviews on, nor is it the reason why I have a fan base.
Good luck with your further coping and fantasies.

Correct, I turned down multiple scholarships and joined the military instead.

Then change the law and demand excellence instead of the “everyone gets a trophy” mentality to education. Your state isn’t overrun with students begging to get in like UT, Florida, etc. so you can try to have some form of academic rigor instead of being a diploma mill

lol @ "coping". there's nothing you do that would make me want to cope about.

Because A players want to be around A players. You have a bunch of coal that just gets thing black and dirty for the one that will be a diamond.
It's the same reason high paying jobs don't hire you for your potential but for your ability to be a bar raiser day 1
It's the same reason gentrifying schools and neighbhorhoods is so hard and takes so much time and suburbs and exurbs get big and popular.
People of a certain ability with ambitions and goals in mind, generally don't want to suffer fools and make sacrifices where they feel they shouldn't have to.

I understand what you're saying. My point wasnt clear. Acceptance rate plays a role in those annual college rankings. I'm just wondering if that is actually a true measure of the school's ability to educate. A students will do well even if they have subpar teachers. They'll just learn outside the class.

You are literally here coping right now by making up fantasies about me, so that you can then try to put me down for it.
Even in this post you pretend to know what I've done or what I do. How many public interviews do you give in an average month?
I don't need to put other people down to try and elevate myself.

Idk what Ole Miss' 4-year graduation rate is, but it is reasonably lower because they accept everyone which factors into the rankings. Same with 5&6-year graduation rate, graduation rate for different races, graduation rate based by age, graduation rate based by transfers. Then published research is a huge factor in ranking as well.
A simple google search says their 4-year graduation rate is ~50%. That's kinda crazy
