What Is Public Finance?

What major to choose,Accounting or Finance?

  • I am judging on the basis of: 1. Salary. 2. How interesting the job is to me. 3. Job opportunity. In this area of the world(United Arab Emirates), there are a lot of jobs for Accounting majors. The Big 4 hire a lot. Finance majors have to struggle a lot for a job. No matter how good they are out of College, they will most likely end up jobless. My seniors who are Finance majors are willing to change their majors to Accounting based purely on the fact that getting a finance job is so hard. But Accounting is really boring for me, i wont mind doing accounting if the job market for finance is the same. But i would prefer finance since its so much more intersting to me. Apart from the 3 criteria's, could you suggest why one major is better than the other?

    In the UAE finance is useless unless you can get in with a firm specializing in crude as an analyst.

In all respect Finance is better that Accounts. Learning Finance as major may be a little tough, but worth learning. Scope for promotion with Accounts qualification is limited, whereas finance has a lot of potentiality for career elevation.

Yes. I just graduated in finance and am in my first career job. Finance is a smart major because its practical. Whether you find a job in finance or not, you'll learn a lot of very useful information for your personal finances. It's nice to actually understand the economy and markets now too. Generally, with a finance major, you can get almost any business related job you want. Business majors cross over the same studies very often. Like me for example, I work on computer networks with a finance degree. A real job is all about training and your ability to learn. I would encourage you to go into business. I think its the most versatile and practical business major. Good luck!
