My friends hubby works in Accounting. He has his Bachelors and is in his early 40s. He makes $140,000/year. I know CPAs that make the same and OHHHHHHHHHHHH SOOOOO MUCH more during tax season. Accounting is said to be a bit more difficult than a Finance degree, so if you are ANY good at ALL at Accounting, I would encourage you to go for it. I'm considering Finance, myself, and if I end up being good at Accounting, I'll get my Masters in it.
