ADVICE FOR FUTURE MANAGERS
Advice for Prospective Accounting Majors
Ed E. Commerce
Comments (in italics) are made throughout this report to help guide you. They are not part of the report. This report provides specific advice to help future accountants build a sound business. The advice was provided through an interview with Dr. Hue Dewey, president of the accounting firm Dewey, Cheetum, and Howe. The advice focuses on four key areas: gain experience anyway possible become a more interesting person build relationships through chocolate put a year in the bank

Notice the four bullet points: = grammatically parallel. Now, why should we respect Dewey’s expertise?

Dr. Dewey has 25 years of accounting experience in private practice, and four years as Chief Economic Counsel to the President during the Clinton Administration. The four topics discussed in this report provide practical, wise counsel for not only accounting professionals, but business professionals as well as.

Each heading in the report provides specific information. If you simply scanned the report and read the headings, the reader would come away with the main points of the report.

Gain work experience every way possible
Gain experience through internships, summer jobs, or volunteer work. Experience supersedes education in that it cannot be taught. It does not replace education, but augments theory with application. For instance, Dewey worked one summer shoveling cement on a highway crew in Texas. The work was physically demanding, and tempers often blew in the extreme summer heat. Dewey learned to develop his confrontational skills through this job, although shoveling cement has nothing to do with accounting. Dewey’s believes any job increases experience, and every job has the potential to improve communication skills.

My point is develop, explain, and support your idea. Make sure your reader understands “why.” Conclude each paragraph with good advice.

    During the opening of the article the author Robert Sterling declares the purpose of discussing the inconsistencies between research accounting, educational accounting, and professional practicing accounting. The reason being for these differences between the major arenas of accounting is the isolation of research results from both practice and education. However, the absence of conflicts between education and practice is due to the harmony between educators preparing students to operate for the practitioners or employers.…

    One aspect that this theory consisted of is practical starting point. In it Dewey said, “Why should it be assumed that there is a single overarching principle of morality or a dualism between subject and object in perception? There should be a bottom-up approach to find actual experience instead of accepting assumptions” (Hildebrand). Dewey also urged that other philosophers should avoid detrimental schemes and assumptions and rather looks for experience in the lives of themselves and others (Hildebrand). He suggested that it is in experience that people find answers and logic for upcoming affairs (Hildebrand). The other aspect of this theory was melioristic motive. In this Dewey shows that “philosophical questions about knowledge and truth can never be completely walled off from efforts to create and preserve value” (Hildebrand). Meliorism is the belief that life is not good or bad, but can only be improved through human interference with processes that would otherwise be natural. Philosophy is only in existence to make life better for everyone (Hildebrand). If philosophy is more than just rational amusement, it has to employ with the everyday problems of men (Hildebrand). Dewey tried to make the theory of knowledge transparent and made it show that “the world is not passively perceived and thereby known; active manipulation of the environment is involved integrally in the…

    John Dewey on Education

    • 1904 Words

    John Dewey’s ideas for education were to concentrate on students’ psychological and sociological qualities. Dewey believed in promoting an “unconscious education” where “the individual gradually comes to share in the intellectual and moral resources which humanity has succeeded in getting together. He becomes an inheritor of the funded capital of civilization” (Dewey 261). In other words, he thought this was a good method for teachers to analyze a student’s behavior in order to teach them more effectively. This also provided an opportunity for the student to learn without even realizing it. Dewey stated that a student’s psychological needs were the basis of his method of education. “The child’s own instinct and powers furnish the material and give the starting-point for all education” (Dewey 262). Dewey stressed the idea that, “Without insight into the psychological structure and activities of the individual the educative process will…be haphazard and arbitrary” (Dewey 262).…
