Accounting vs. Economics degree
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 11th, 2005 2:40 PM Author: elite pistol Hi I'm trying to decide whether I want to continue pursuing my economics major or change my major into accounting. I goto a relatively unknown 2nd tier private university so the economics department isn't really well known. My main concern is the difficulty of getting a job as an economics degree after graduation , whereas with an accounting degree, it wouldn't seem too difficult. Also, I don't plan on pursuing a Ph.D in Economics anyway. I really enjoy economics, but I have no idea where that could lead me, whereas accounting seems more practical. Can anybody help me with this decision? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=123124&forum_id=1#1910917) |

Once you get the CPA, you can jump to many fields, including the lucrative investment field to take care of their accounting for investments etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=123124&forum_id=1#1910961) |

Date: January 11th, 2005 6:25 PM Author: elite pistol I don't think I can double major. What about majoring in Economics and minoring in Accounting, or the other way around? I'm very lost. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=123124&forum_id=1#1912363) |

Finance is a major for people who were too scared of doing a degree that actually requires you to think as opposed to only putting numbers in formulas. |
