There are two common system glitches that you want to skip. The first is the notion that gaming can’t teach you important skills. The skills you're building, like critical thinking, teamwork, strategy, and time management, aren't just valuable in the game world; they're also directly transferable to real-life success. The second glitch is that accounting only requires you to be really good at math. Accounting is not all about numbers, it’s about completing a mission that has real impact for businesses and communities. To level up your future, explore accounting! 🏆
