Double major at TESC?

[CollegeStudent7]

I wonder which one pays better and is hiring more at the bachelors degree level? I've looked at the Occupational Outlook Handbook but it's hard to tell... and if you do a search on google most everything that comes up is just someones opinion without any real proof.

Accounting. I work at a recruiting agency. We have a dozen Finance grads for every Accounting grad that walks in there, if not more. Our Accountants seem to be paid (for temporary contracts) an average of $40/hr. My friend's husband has 20 years experience as an accountant and is making $140,000/year WITH 3 job offers for $150,000-$160,000/year..in the midst of THIS economic crisis. He has his Bachelors in Accounting. Nothing else.

The CPA that I was working for seemed to be the ONLY person I knew that wasn't cutting back, firing or suffering in some way. But if you want to stick to facts, I'll tell you that my recruiting agency likes to see Accounting on peoples resumes because honestly not too many people major in it. Finance is GREAT and it's solid. Depending on your specialty you CAN make great money as well, but Accounting is more in demand as of now and I don't see that changing.
