[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I double majored in Econ and Accounting.  
If you are not at a T25, then do Business (preferably finance or accounting).  I do not think Econ majors get too much respect if you are not at a top school.
Totally opposite - you can go to University of  (insert state), major in accounting, pass the CPA exam and get a job that pays well.  If you don't want to be an accountant, it is trickier and have to find a school that has a good business program in what you want to do plus be at top of class.

Right now, my son is planning on getting an economic degree.  Basically, he doesn't know what he wants to do after college.  However, he is interested in accounting.  So, he may end up majoring in accounting or with an economics major and an accounting minor.  The problem with this path is he will need to get into a Masters in Accounting program in order to sit for the CPA exam.  This will likely require more classes than required for a minor. [/quote]

My son is also declaring  accounting as his major. He’s in second year of college in the business dept. He likes finance but  realizes accounting will be more feasible as a career, especially in the beginning. He has already mentioned he may stay for the 5th year to get the Masters and prepare for the CPA, but he’s not thrilled about an extra year. [/quote]
