<p>So Im currently an accounting student. Last quarter, I bombed my intermediate accounting I final and ended up with a bad grade(2.4). I'm currently taking cost accounting and intermediate accounting 2 this quarter. However if I don't earn at least a 3.0 in those classes, I may switch my major to Finance in order to maintain a higher GPA. would this be wise? Or should I stick to accounting regardless of my GPA?</p>
<p>I hear Finance is still a demanding degree. My main goal is to find a FT job after I graduate.</p>
<p>The Big four will require a high GPA to get an interview. Check with student placement for the cut off. Other employers are likely to be less uptight but at all cost you should have at least 3.0 when you graduate. There are a lot of accounting auditing jobs to be had after graduation… I don’t believe the same can be said of finance.</p>
<p>Sosmenza, do you mean a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or accounting GPA of 3.0?</p>
<p>So back to my question tho. Do you think it’d be wise to switch to Finance if I don’t succeed with at least a 3.0 in my accounting classes this quarter in order to save my GPA?</p>
<p>I did some searches a few months ago on accounting vs. finance difficulty and it seemed to me that finance was known as the “easier” degree. But I would caution that if you’re switching to a Finance major, you attempt to find out a career (job) path to follow and such.</p>
<p>I didn’t get your last sentence , I think you mistyped it</p>
