<p>Hi, i am a high school senior and im trying to decide between Cal state Fullerton and UC Riverside. But i know I want to go into business but i dont know what concentration. I was thinking about Acconting but i heard from many people that is it very dull and that i will regret it. The options are: : accounting, arts management, entrepreneurship, environmental management, financial economics, general management, human resources management, information systems, international management, managerial economics, marketing, operations & supply chain management, or public policy & management. What sounds the best option that i will enjoy? Thanks!!!</p>
<p>Accounting is pretty dull, or at least it is to me. Without knowing you, I can’t really say what option you would enjoy. I wouldn’t worry about what you’re going to concentrate in right now, just get there and take some classes and see what classes you like and do well in.</p>
<p>If you are a black/white, extreme left brain person accounting is perfect. But go see a CPA today and he prob looks like a zombie. Thats the job.</p>
<p>I am majoring in accounting. It can be dull in some parts, but I find a lot of the material kinda interesting. It really shows how the business operates and if you know your accounting down pat, you can look at the annual report and know exactly what that company did last year.</p>
<p>However, it depends on what you want to do after you graduate. If you want to do accounting, you pretty much have to major in it. If you want to do finance, an accounting degree will look just as good as long as you sprinkle in a couple finance classes (accounting finance double majors are pretty common).</p>
<p>Also, accounting is considered the hardest business major so you should factor that in as well.</p>
<p>There are lots of CPAs who do not do taxes. Lots who are not even in public accounting, but in industry. I concur that it is the most difficult business major. Usually, an accounting major takes all the classes of a regular business major, and fills the electives with acct. specific classes.</p>
<p>Even if you later chose a business career other than accounting, you will be very well served by the analytical and detailed analysis skills you acquired with your accounting major.</p>
<p>Once one is past the initial job years, an accounting career, especially with a public acct. firm, is much more about working with the client’s management than it is about actual number crunching.</p>
<p>The best way to know is to take an acct. class. You’ll know, and probably fairly quickly.</p>
<p>Do you enjoy a lot of decision making? Are you creative?</p>
<p>If yes, then you may not enjoy accounting</p>
