From what a understand the job market for Accounting is very good. Although I'm sure it is for EE as well.

I plan on majoring in Finance but Accounting is something I'm still considering as an option. Double major in both is possible too. Luckily I don't decide until 2 years in.

Good luck.

yea, hlcaheen, alot of my friends major in finance, they drink 4 nights a week, go to about 75% of classes, dont do any work, study for an hour before each exam and all have high GPA's, you seem smart so I wouldnt worry about these classes at Penn State

snake, i am an engr myself, i enjoy the math but i def hear u on trying to skip the hard classes

i remember you being a good poker player? don't do accounting because you'll be bored out of your mind by the time you finished with CPA

You won't be dealing with money in accounting in the ways you want to (my assumption). I will second chisness about looking into finance more because i think it'll fit your criterion more.

i didnt state in that thread, but I have in others, so by the way I am a Penn State student for those who had no idea

I got my masters in Acct, getting a job is a joke, get lots of offers.

working at Big 4 they pay around 55-58k starting by the time u start it will probably be 60k-65k (they up the pay every year based on the market, made me get a 4k raise before i started working but after i signed a contract).

The money won't be as much as engineering or those bankers that make 100k i guess but its a good career. lots of upside too.

With cost of living that's about a 35-40k job in the midwest.

I still am not really sure, I am really interested in business in general...but I don't (didn't) like accounting really...so I have no clue what I like business wise??
