[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it about making big bucks or really wanting to just work on Wall St? If it’s big bucks there are many easier ways to do this than work on Wall St. [/quote]
I never understand why students like this don’t take the road most travelled. Nursing and Accounting are stable, easy for employment, can be done anywhere, and pay very well. They are always going to be needed and are essentially cheat codes to an upper middle class lifestyle. [/quote]
Have you met a nurse that likes their job? Or an account for that matter?[/quote]

I have to say -- why would you want to be an accountant?  And it is not stable at all.  [/quote]
Accounting is one of the most stable jobs out there. What are you talking about?[/quote]

+1 they are literally desperate for people. Our accountancy firm said this year they would be sending stuff overseas. I was disappointed because I thought they were trying to be cheap, so I researched and yes, the profession is struggling majorly, which was accounted for grads wanting finance instead. [/quote]
There’s so many opportunities it’s crazy. If you have a real smart child, they’ll go far, because finance tends to suck up all the intelligent, competitive kids. DC started in CS and realized how much was needed outside the major to get a job, switched to accounting and recently walked into an internship with a pipeline to post-grad guaranteed job practically. [/quote]

think accounting suffers from a reputation that the work is repetitive and boring - but I guess the same could be said for many CS role.  Can a kid expect to make $100k coming out of a school like UT or Indiana in an entry level accounting role? (both T5 accounting schools)[/quote]
