Question

What kind of jobs can i get with a masters degree in accounting.

also, how much money do they make (is it average or above-average?)

and i would also love if you could tell me what the top ten highest paying jobs are :]

(i am in highschool and need to start picking my credits so i could get get into college and need to know what field i'm going into...right now its either medicine or accounting. i know medicine pays more, but with accounting there would be less schooling...)

Answer 1

Accounting is a good choice for a career as it is in high demand.  It is also a good career.  47,000 will you get a decent car, a decent apt and plenty of money to pay for clothes, bills, and insurance and maybe one credit card.  You can also afford a girlfriend with an avg. 47ka yr. job but little more.  60-75k gets you the house, the g/f and wife and maybe a few kids and two cars.

If you make 25k a year you are probably a teacher and expect to marry a fellow teacher and rent that apt where those people you read about in the paper were found dead last year.  As a result you will need to spend roughly 1-2 percent of your income on booze and the rest to repair your bicycle throughout the year.  The dating scene maybe a little light for you as well with 25k a year and all those student loans from your communications, dance, art, eng. lit, psychology and sociology degree in college so keep an eye out for some old high school sweethearts that may show up at your next high school reunion that you will be able to convince that you are a success.
