<p>At times, Accounting for me gets boring, although I do appreciate the dynamics behind it, and the importance to better understanding business. </p>
<p>I am very interested in higher Mathematics, and the thought of working in the industry for a specialized field sounds like fun. </p>
<p>I just don't know at this point, how much more I can appreciate Accounting. My primary reasons are for the good job prospects. I would be going to graduate school, and then later sitting for the CPA exam.</p>
<p>Anybody else in the same situation? All comment appreciated. </p>
<p>Look into becoming an actuary. Much more creative, many opportunities. Never a bad day. (Well . . . .) I am not an actuary, but I never even heard of the field until I was 30. I have a good friend who was a math major, was guided toward actuarial work, and hasn't regretted it for a day in his life. There is a very rigorous series of exams to pass that can take 5+ years once you start working, but once you've gotten that under your belt, you're homefree.</p>
<p>Nothing too exciting about it, that's for sure. At times, I want to use my brain for slightly more challenging endeavors. </p>
<p>I suppose I could at least complete a Minor in Mathematics. Or major in Math, and take business courses enough to make sure I could go to grad school in business.</p>
<p>Why not major in Math? In my opinion, someone with a Mathematics degree is just as desirable, if not moreso, than someone with an Accounting degree. If you are going on to professional school, definitely pursue what you want. </p>
<p>And FYI, pursuing a math degree is not particularly common because it's so freakin difficult. It will be more impressive, in my opinion, than an accounting degree, which so many people will have.</p>
<p>If math is your passion, I say major in math. If you want to become an accountant afterward, go to Accounting school. But you need not major in Accounting as an undergraduate to become an accountant.</p>
<p>First of all, thanks guys for your help. I appreciate it!</p>
<p>Yeah, majoring in Math sounds like fun, and will sharpen up my brain I think. In the meantime, I can just finish up the lower division business core and Accounting pre-graduate requirements and later complete a Master's in Accounting, which was the plan anyway.</p>
<p>I will think about this. Sounds good though. And if I did decide on majoring in Math, I don't have to change anything, as I applied to my school under the Sciences as Applied Mathematics major.</p>
