Hey Guys,
For those of you in the business world, I was curious which degrees seem to be the most useful now a days from what you can see? I'm at the point where I must choose a major. Personally business anything interests me and I can do it all relatively easily so I have no preference. From where I'm at the one taking the longest would be an accounting degree which would take 3 more years + passing the CPA. The other main ones being economics or a Finance major, with others including Marketing, Management, etc. would only take an additional 2 years. Anyone have any input or experience for me?

TIA

If you just want to get a job, go accounting. that major is on fire.

also, possibilities exist for MIS and Finance too.

Marketing will only get you a job in under grad.

Management is worthless.


<---- Finance and MIS double major.

Well, I want a job in the general field of business as bad as that sounds :D I like numbers so pretty much any of those(accounting, finance, econ, etc) are more enticing. Would you consider the extra year of school worth it for accounting, I'm not sure I'm anal enough for it, that an extra year of school is not something I'm looking forward to!

You probably already took, or have yet to take a lower division course in any or most of those areas is you're pre-business. Considering that, how did you like them?
