<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>As I have already said in a previous post I am attending Columbus State Community College and I will be transferring over the OSU's Fisher COB and go into either Accounting or Finance. I am a little mixed up on what to get into.</p>
<p>I know Finance has the potential to make a lot of money, but I also know in order to make all that money you have to want to "live to work" and not the other way around.</p>
<p>I also know coming out from a very good business like OSU can prepare you well for both a career in Finance and Accounting. I have also heard (save a few months) that Accountants make a decent amount of money and also are not working the 50 and 60 hour weeks that people in Finance do.</p>
<p>Am I right about those couple of statements? And also is Accounting a career that deals with complicated math?</p>
<p>Finally, I just finished up working for a collection agency for about 9 months (quit yesterday because I finally realized I couldn't do a 3rd quarter of taking 20 credit hours and working 40 hours). I am looking for another job and I would prefer to get back into collections ($11-$12 plus bonuses) working part-time.</p>
<p>My question is basically would my time (previous nine months and perhaps more) in collections be positive work experience for either of these fields?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
