I completed my BS in accounting through a degree completion program offered at a local college. I was in a cohort and became pretty good friends with another member of the cohort that lives close by. We completed our degrees and decided to go through this CPA testing process together.

We probably had seven or eight different instructors while completing our degrees in the degree completion program. A few weeks prior to starting a new class, we would receive a syllabus. Included in the syllabus would be the instructor’s name and credentials/experience. A few weeks prior to starting our tax classes, we received the syllabus. Included in the syllabus was the instructor’s name and his credentials. Among his credentials were a B.S. in accounting, an MBA and a JD. I remember thinking,”this guy is gonna be tough.”

It turned out he was the least knowledgeable of all of our instructors and was one of those instructors that literally reads from the book, word for word. One time, he was counting and he said the following: “Nine, ten, eleventeen……” I swear that’s true. My friend and I looked at each other like, seriously? I mean, it’s one thing to say 30 instead of 31, but eleventeen doesn’t even friggin exist!

Anyway, we still get a kick out of that till this day.
