Accounting

There are many different types of accounting. I haven’t made the choice of which

particular part of the profession I am going to go into. I am going to focus on financial

However general accounting and bookkeeping classes can be taken in high school. In

college, the student needs to decide on a more specific field of accounting. An accountant has many choices regarding what particular field of accounting to specialize in, depending on the financial information he or she wants to analyze and how it is done.

In big, bold letters, the poster reads “We are for Adolf Hitler!” (https://www.loc.gov/item/2009631993/). Simply put, this poster was aimed towards the working class who were fed up with their work and were desperate for change.
