Accounting VS MIS

<p>I just transferred to a 4 year university, and I applied for MIS. The fall quarter will start soon, and I still dont know if I love MIS or not. I like Accounting too. I want to get a master degree. My dream is to start my own business so which major is better for me? </p>

<p>The Cons pp told me about MIS: as I get older I will not able to update my skills like the young students, and I will get laid off and will be hard to find a different job because company like young smart students and salary is also low because they have no experience.</p>

<p>I'm so indecisive, I need to figure this out now before too late. Any advice would be really appreciated.</p>

<p>My very biased opinion after ~25 years as a CPA: you can’t go wrong with accounting. Lots of opportunities and options. Any idea what kind of business you are interested in running? I guess the only issue is whether or not you need to gain additional technical skill in college to run your dream business. If the business is to be MIS related, then perhaps a double major. </p>

<p>One more comment: accounting skills can offer you some good flexibility to earn seasonal money to in turn then grow your business. One could work hard for a few months during tax season to make some cash, then focus on growing their business after April 15. </p>

<p>Good luck! </p>

<p>My school doesn’t allow double concentration, if I want to do both, I will have to finish 1 and work on the other 1
.
I dont have a clear idea of what type of business I will be running, maybe an online store, or a local coffee shop.
I’m don’t know what type of business I can do with a MIS degree?</p>

<p>There is a hot major right now called AIS, I know some pp who is doing this. Do u think this has more potential than MIS?</p>
