Should I major in accounting or finance?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
I don't mean for this to sound harsh, but if you don't have a clear reason for going to college, then you probably shouldn't be going to college. I say this as one who made the same mistake. I am a graduated accounting major who works a job in a totally unrelated field. I didn't at first know for sure what I wanted to do in college, and so I eventually settled on accounting because I was a good math student in high school. My flaw was thinking that I had to go to college, that there was no other way. A person who is undecided on a career in life would be better off to just work a conventional entry level job and stay out of debt associated with student loans and read books and learn about money management and investing. I'll probably get some haters for saying this, but college is over-rated.

You will be happier doing what you are interested in. Although finance pays higher on average you will probably have better job security in accounting. You could also major in one and minor in the other.

Both are good but i suggest you to go with accounting.

when you are passionate about it, BOTH.

remember that acct is very good to know but it is like

watching paint dry

---finance guides you more on ROI

acct tells where you got your $ from to earn the ROI

and who you owe it to--if applicable

--guess who teaches fin and use to teach acct!!!

accounting

I am very good at math. I wanted to do accounting but my advisor out me into finance without my permission but I'm not interested in finance. I do not like investments or selling products. I'm more into numbers. Would I be more likely to major in finance or accounting. I'm still in school and I don't want to major in something that I have no interest in and if I go back into accounting I will be in school longer maybe 2 or 3 years more. But with finance I have 10 more classes left but I have no interest in it.
