When I was working for an import-export company, I decided to take International Economics at the local university extension because I thought it would help me with my job. However, I soon realized that day-to-day international economics and textbook international economics did not match up very well.
Finance either. My degree is in it, I've taught it, and man, the real world just doesn't operate that way. I mean, it does in a general sense, but what they have you focus on in class vs. how businesses make decisions...hoo boy!

Don't get me started on accounting.

I found accounting pretty intuitive, and I appreciated the concept of paired entries for every transaction--one a debit, and one a credit.
