[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it's not the "it" major, but you can't go wrong with accounting.

I concentrated in marketing, but in hindsight, should've done accounting.  I pivoted to the finance side later, which better fits my personality and skill.[/quote]

If you read this again, can you write what you did in marketing and why and how finance is a better fit (for you)?[/quote]
I'm not a very social or creative person. I'm actually a numbers person, which is why I focused on market research.  I ended up doing some marketing at a non profit after graduation (internship segued into a job).  This was back in the 90s LOL.   I liked it the first year, but I got bored really quickly. I was good at anything to do with computers and numbers, but didn't enjoy the creative part or the people interaction part, lol.  I also worked trade shows, and I found interacting with people super draining.

I was much happier number crunching in front of a computer.    Having an accounting/finance background also helped me segue into the IT department which is where I really flourished.

Actually, in hindsight, I should've majored in MIS, but I didn't have anyone to guide me.

Is MIS still offered at most colleges? It was (and could still be) a big thing in late 90s into at least 2010. Maybe it evolved into something else with another name? [/quote]
