Life in the real world yping, free enterprise, and accounting. What do you think of when you hear those words? They remind most people of one of the most applicable subjects - business! Business classes are some of the most important classes you can take. They help prepare you for life in the real world. Scott Klose, junior comments. Typing prepares you for a career in the clerical world as well as a building block for working on computers. Another business class, free enterprise, -teaches students about the country's economic system. This class is very important because without an understanding of the economic system, you cannot survive. explains Bill Gates, junior. A great complement to typing is the word processing class. This class takes the student from the typewriter to the computer keyboard. This is important because it gives the student an opportunity to succeed in the fast growing computer field. Even though science, English, and math are stressed as the most important classes, business classes are equally important. Marketing, personal finance, and basic business along with the other classes, help students get an idea of what the real business world is like.
