Re: Finance vs Accounting degree
[ QUOTE ]
like i said, both are pretty easy for me class wise. I'm in my 3rd year. I JUST transfered schools though.
Ohio State did a 3 year, internship over the summer, then 2 more years.
Cincinnati is more of a co op, like 2 quarters on, 1 quarter work, 3 quarters on, 1 quarter work
So I haven't had any internships/co ops yet. So really this question is hard for me to answer, but I need to make a decision soon.
I am planning on going to law school, so I guess it doesn't really matter, but I only want to go top 10 law or don't go at all, so I need something to fall back on.
might just double major, or do finance, work for 2 years, go back and do financial engineering and do quant

Good luck finding quant work. In today's market place, most quants are PHD's in the hardcore sciences such as Physics or Math. Also, quants are located in the tri-state area. If you do have interest in becoming a quant, computer science as an undergrad then financial engineering can also be a good path but finance and/or accounting is probably not going to cut it and I am speaking from experience in this area.
