<\/div>My hope is to get a lot of students into accounting who normally wouldn\u2019t take it. If you\u2019re going to run your own doctor\u2019s office or law office, a business course and an accounting course are very helpful. With a liberal arts education attached to an accounting degree, you can do anything.<\/p><\/div>

\u201cIn law school, they don\u2019t teach you how to be a lawyer. They teach you how to think<\/em> like a lawyer. Then when you get in the practical world you learn how to be<\/em> a lawyer. I think that\u2019s invaluable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn accounting, you\u2019re rarely going to be presented with the same problem more than once. It may look like the same problem, but there\u2019s always going to be a tiny detail that\u2019s different. So you need to have the necessary knowledge and skill to apply to the problem. The answer isn\u2019t going to be in your notes or in a text. You\u2019re going to have to apply what you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAccounting is law. It\u2019s all based on codes, SEC promulgations, tax law, case law\u2014it is the law. As a lawyer, you have to cite everything you turn into a judge or give to your boss. In the accounting world, it\u2019s important to know, \u2018Where does this law come from? Where does this rule come from?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have some familiarity with Hayne\u2019s career arc, it\u2019s probably not surprising to learn that she loves to travel. While at Transylvania, she studied abroad in Munich, Germany. Afterwards, she traveled throughout Europe with four family members, reveling in every “comedic situation” they found themselves in. She craves seeing new places and learning about other cultures and people in other parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, she\u2019s always looking forward, toward the next adventure, the next educational experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTraveling is my passion\u2014my bucket list is all 50 states and all continents. My \u2018must go\u2019 place is always the place I’m headed next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n J.D., University of Kentucky College of Law, 2007 Principles of Accounting Taxation CALI Award, Order of the Coif, Kentucky Law Journal\u2014University of Kentucky College of Law<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8884,"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"academic_division":[16,3],"class_list":["post-286","faculty","type-faculty","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nAcademic History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
