Another Quickie.

Yesterday I went to a class for my new career.  Today I took the last 10 hours of it.  I have no background in the banking or finance industry so there is a lot "What?"  "What reg of what act?".  I'm learning stuff but I feel like these other people are talking a different language.

I was in real estate sales for a very short time so that training does help when talking about some things, but a lot of it is a completely new world to me.  The learning stuff is a blast but the second guessing part bites.  

One of the chapters in the textbook deals with mathematics.  No sweat, the business deals with numbers a lot so that makes sense.  Then I actually looked at the stuff they were teaching, how to convert a decimal to a percentage.  Okay, someone might have been taught change and not convert so the difference in teaching styles could make a difference.  I understand there could be an issue there, but why do they have to teach adults how to add or subtract decimals?  Remember, we're talking about money mainly, 0.568-0.236 is typical of the math in this section.  

Actually, now that I think about it, the fact that a remedial lesson was needed is okay.  The groans of some people (because they couldn't wrap their head around it) with this remedial math was my major issue.
