huuhhhhhh, Sitting around trying to decide what major I am going to complete for uni. I thought I had it all set out from the start but my mind is changing. When I think about what sort of job I would like after uni I am not sure where any of these degrees really fit in. Then again saying that I still really don't know what sort of job I will want straight out of uni, I've always looked further ahead to jobs that I would like to have rather than where I will start. hrm.
Basically it has come down to me doing an Accounting major or a Finance major. Now I know most people probably think they are the same thing, and while they do have similar subjects, there is differences. Accounting seems the more boring option, and I think it is boring going from what these subject guides tell me. But there seems to be more work out there for accounting skills (not just being an accountant, I don't think I could handle doing that for too long), and also you can go on to do things like CPA and other CPA like qualifications which can really help you move around industries and have a lot of freedom with what you do (and yes, there is more to a CPA than becoming a public accountant).
Finance on the other hand is a bit more interesting to me, you do a lot of subjects in fiscal and monetary policy from an Australian perspective and abroad and a whole other bunch of stuff which can actually be pretty cool to learn and doing an finance major really is an extension of a economics minor. However leaving uni with a finance major, i think I would find that my transferrable skills from this major will be limited as compared to an accounting major and also I think it is easier to jump from accounting to finance instead of finance to accounting skill wise, well I have been told this.
Sigh, what to do... All signs point to me picking accounting in my mind, even though from the start I wanted to do finance, I really can see the benefits of an accounting major. However all I can think about when I go to select my subjects to do the accounting major is this future picture of me sitting in some sterile office in from of a computer all day, fucking with excel for a measly pay check and no incentive to do anything. That frightens the shit outta me.
Other news, my test I talked about last post went really badly, worst mark I've got in uni on any test, still even though it was the worse I walked out of the test thinking I could have got ZERO, so I am happy I got the "good scenario" marks and that I have the ability to recover from this on my final exam to get a decent mark.
