<p>Okay so I know I don't want to make my career in public accounting; accounting is one of the best ways to launch a career in business. With that being said, I know I want to work in public accounting for 2-3 post graduation. After that, however, I see myself working in corporate finance or managment consulting, for a company like Deloitte, IBM, etc. Not mkinsey, bain, or Goldman Sachs. </p>
<p>My question is, would ALSO majoring in Finance in addition to accounting be beneficial? Or would the work experience be the biggest thing when applying to MBA programs and corporate finance/consulting positions when Im 25 or so? </p>
<p>Right now I am leaning toward just majoring in Accounting as I can always apply for an MBA with a concentration in Finance, but I would like my company to pay for it, and I'm ASSUMING most public accounting firms don't pay for MBA if you already have your cpa. </p>
<p>I cannot stress that I am NOT a wannabe ivy leaguer who has unrealistic dreams of working at Goldman Sachs and Mckinsey. I have to declare all my majors in the next few weeks.</p>
