No.The education curriculums in colleges teach theory... theory has little practicality in the real world of business. By that I mean that you USE what they teach you in college, but you really won't learn much until you hit the market place and start learning the nuances of your profession.For instance you might know how to make a certain journal entry based on what you learned in finance, tax, or accounting classes, but the scenarios in which you will need to determine what entry to use are not as pure as those in the classroom.
