<p>can someone tell me what accounting is like, i'm intersted in switching to a business major or get a concentration in accounting?</p>

<p>I want personal experience with accounting and what it's like the workload, and what are the job prospects? does anyone have any family members, friends, etc.? and how are they doing in accounting, is it something they like? Salary, Benefits, Work Hours?</p>

<p>i'm asking because i've switched my major many times taking courses, and i just want to know instead of wasting money if this has been good for you</p>

<p>Workload for accounting is very little. It’s mostly studying and some projects. The job prospects are good. UCLA is heavily recruited by top companies and many middle level firms. </p>

<p>Salary is 45-60k a year starting, and work hours suck for certain service lines. If you are in tax or audit, busy season will suck. Benefits are typical big company benefits imo. Some firms are better than others but nothing to be crazy about.</p>
