[lonewolf63afo]

I am heading into my 3rd year of school as an accounting major. The first two years were filled with non accounting bullshit

[MrsAlvarez]

My first year had accounting in it...

Also here are my two cents:

You are a guy that wants to make money. There is money in accounting. However, accounting isnt everyones cup of tea. Its the type of subject that can drive someone fucking bonanza if they dont understand it, so dont pick it just because you want to make the blang blang, do it because you like it.

 

[MrsAlvarez]

yeah it is hard shit sometimes The majority of the people in my major dropped it after the first class.

 

[Orcus]

If you want to make money then double major in finance and real estate.

 

[Animo]

do actuarial science...usually the minimum is $300,000 a year after finishing all the exams (9 exams, of course that won't happen till like 35, 40). But be prepared to continuously be studying for exams and be ready to fail many of the exams.

 

[jpr333]

Yeah that subject looks insane, the cut off was the top .5% of the state over here in Aus.

 

[SameerK]

what do you mean by cut off? and .5% of what people? Sorry, just never heard it being explained in those ways

Oh well there is a shortage of subsidised uni places, so to get in to these 'HECS' places (government funded uni places, basically they give you an interest free loan to cover your uni fees) it goes off how you do in school using a standardised mark to compare the state. The uni courses then do a simple demand and supply to determine minimum mark cutoffs. In this case the cutoff is like 99.5 or so (marks range from 1-100).
