Any accounting majors who are currently working at a job that has nothing to do with accounting?

Question

I'm pursuing an accounting degree but I hate it and want to do something else when I graduate. (It's too late for me to switch majors) It just seems like accounting majors have a set track (ie they get get an accounting degree, get their cpa, work in public accounting) but I want to do something completely different. Is this normal?

Answer 1

An acocunting degree is a highly repsected credential. If you want to try something different afer you graduate, you will be find as long as itis business related. I recommend workign for the government, IRS, SEC, government auditors. They offer continued education, decent pay and early retirement. I think the quality of life is a lot better as well.
