This Leadership Course is Torture

[mrs.b]

I finished my undergrad in HR with a personal vow that I would never again take another HR-like course. And, leadership applies. I am convinced that Organizational Theory was my own personal hell. I cannot imagine it at a graduate level. It's part of what led me to my final decision to put a fork in the road and go the Accounting route longer-term; numbers have always been my "thing," and I need not worry about the emotional well-being of the figures I'm manipulating, nor whether they feel motivated to cooperate. I like numbers, but the more I delved into the subject matter of leadership/HR/org mgmt., the more I realized my time in the field is limited. (I do office mgmt., where most of my day-to-day is acct anyway...HR is just a tiny fraction and I'm actively working to make it less!)

Some of your 'gruntle might also have to do with the fact that you're taking a 3rd-string course on your wish list (it wasn't even on the wish list). Have you voiced your complaint about the false advertisement? Maybe they had someone they once had access to that they could point you to for an online course? Maybe you could make a case for accepting a transferred course of something you really want? (I doubt it, but never hurts to ask!)
