i am going to be an economics major. If I take enough electives relating to accounting would I be able to get an entry-level job as an accountant? I know that I would probably not have enough credits to receive my CPA licensure any time soon after graduating college
You would probably have to get a MS in Accounting which could take 2 years after a BS in economics. Extremely doubtful you could take enough courses as an econ major to get any accounting job. In addition to being light on accounting classes you would be missing the general business courses that accountants take.
