You know it's going to be a good day when three hours of your life are dedicated to tallying up numbers and putting them into a custom formatted Excel document.
While Excel is oftentimes a confusing, frustrating tool to use, it is useful. Rather than put countless numbers in a calculator, and take more than an appropriate amount of time to tally everything up, a simple formula placed in the correct box makes counting, tallying, and adding much easier.
Excel is, I think, one of the most important tools a college student should know how to use. Not only can students use spreadsheets to their own personal advantage by making up schedules and budgets, but in all of the work experience I have had at this point, every company can find at least one use for Excel, and they can typically find good use for anyone who is a master spreadsheet maker.
