<p>As far as majors go, I'm expecting to go into college ready to explore accounting. From what I know, accounts get those boring desk jobs but are paid nicely. I can definitely stand the desk job, and I'm not looking for one of those strike it rich jobs either. If that fails I'm thinking of going into chemical engineering, although I'm not sure of my aptitudes in that area. </p>

<p>Anyway, the schools that I've found interesting so far are:
Notre Dame
UMichigan
NYU
UMaryland (safety hopefully)</p>

<p>So if anybody can suggest other schools, or more importantly, can help give me a description of majors/jobs in accounting or finance, it would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>You might want to take a close look at Wake Forest. It has an excellent accounting progam and the rah-rah sports of Notre Dame, Michigan, and Maryland. It's become more selective, but you should have a good shot.</p>

<p>Chemical engineering isn't something you fall into by default. Plus, in order to pursue it, you pretty need to follow a set curriculum straight from first semster fershman yr. </p>

<p>Washington & Lee, Bucknell and Lehigh would be three enjoyable places you could pursue accounting with the latter two offering engineering as well.</p>
