I was just reading up on a separate thread, "Is an MBA degree worth the money?" And it got me thinking.

For those of you that wen't to school and decided to pursue an MBA or CPA degree, which college class did you find that helped you to excel the most in your company today?

For me, it has been Accounting. And Business Writing.

I am still in college and personally I have to say that the real life experience gained through trial-and-error of starting a company has helped me far more then any classroom setting.

That is certainly not true for everyone, we all have unique ways of learning and some retain information better while in a classroom setting. I'm more of a hands-on learner.

Consumer Behavior has been my favorite class so far though. It's helped me bridge some gaps between marketing and research that I was lacking prior.
