Choosing a major: Computer Science or Accounting

<p>Well, I'm a junior in High School right now and I'm having a hard time deciding between these two majors. Both are offered at my local university.</p>

<p>I enjoy working with numbers and have done really well in some of the advanced math classes (such as calculus). I'm also really interested in computers.</p>

<p>I've done exceptionally well in the two years of accounting classes I've taken thus far in High School, but it has gotten to the point where it seems more like memorizing laws and regulations -- calculations seem very few and far between. This is really detracting me from wanting to pursue this major. On a positive note, accounting does seem to involve problem solving and analysis to some extent (which I like). However, it also seems that the accounting profession now involves more interaction between clients. Being an introverted person, this does not exactly excite me.</p>

<p>The only thing that worries me about computer science is this constant threat of outsourcing and the fact that technologies are constantly evolving. I also feel that a career in computer science may provide slightly less job security.</p>

<p>What major do you think I should choose?</p>

<p>Computer Science.</p>

<p>This is coming from a CPA: Pick CS. </p>

<p>I want to kill at least one of my clients on a weekly basis because most of them are A$$HOLES.</p>

<p>BUMP.
Anyone?</p>

<p>you like the calculations aspect of accounting…
choose finance.</p>
