Excel skills are apparently also useful. specifically for accounting ,VLookups and Pivot Tables are very useful skills to have that apparently a lot of people don't know.
Hope this helps somewhat. Good luck! Sounds like you have a good plan set out. :)

Calculators are fun lol. I'll have to look up those VLookUps and Pivot Tables later.
