I will be attending Michigan Tech. My bf's mom works in the IT field and she told me to avoid IT. She said offshoring and outsourcing has become big issues. She recently got a new job because she was likely going to lose her job. She said her co-workers at her old job, took pay CUTS in order to keep their jobs. This was a big company too, Computer Science Corporation. She now works at JPM Chase, where her job is more secure. I plan on majoring in Accounting and minoring in computer science. The computer science minor complements the accounting degree very well. I would like to attend law school after college. The IT field is insecure, I'd go with business, which is very broad and many job fields are left open. You decide to go to law school, you can be a tax attorney, real estate attorney. . . the limits are endless, but switching would be a great idea. . . and business would also enable you to start your own business. Good Luck. YESSSSSSSSS. . . that is a smart idea. . . that is what I did. I will be attending Michigan Tech. My bf’s mom works in the IT field and she told me to avoid IT.

I have an accounting degree and work as a tax auditor. I find the work interesting, challenging, and flexible. In terms of self satisfaction I must say I am highly satisfied with my employment. I interact on a daily basis with CPA's, accountants, and bookkeeping services. Many of them are quite successful while others appear to just carry on without a purpose of direction. I believe you will find accounting a great area with plenty of opportunities as well the ability to start your own business weather it be a bookkeeping service, accountant or a CPA firm. If you enjoy working with people, solving problems, and enjoy producing a product. . . . then I think you have hit the nail on the head. Carpi Diem!

All three of those majors will qualify you for goods jobs that are in demand. It is just a matter of where your own strengths lie. Do not choose a major only because it offers a higher starting salary. If you are better in one field that offers less salary than another field that you aren't as "gifted" in, you will probably be better off choosing the field you are best in and will advance up the ladder quicker and easier, thereby making more money than you would have in another, higher paying field. All the best. Well, I think it all depends on what your personal interests are. All three of those majors will qualify you for goods jobs that are in demand.
