<p>Don't want to have the dread of not being able to find a job hang over your head your entire college career? Then major in accounting.</p>
<p>-Recession proof. No matter the state of the economy there will ALWAYS be a demand for accountants</p>
<p>-Job openings everywhere. Look at all the businesses around you; what do they all have in common? They all need accountants.</p>
<p>-Great job stability. Don't expect many layoffs.</p>
<p>-Great job stability. Why is this on here twice? Because it's a stable job. You do the same thing everyday-there's no craziness.</p>
<p>-Comfy. Accounting is the poster child for "cubicle jobs". You literally walk in, sit down, and get to work.</p>
<p>-The work is easy. The only reason you need a degree to get a job in accounting is because employers always prefer someone with credentials. That aside, anyone who has passed the 6th grade can do 80% of what accountants do. Multiply, add, subtract. That's it.</p>
<p>-Good pay. Expect 35k-55k upon entry</p>
<p>-Great potential for corporate "ladder climbing". Accounting is one of the easiest professions to "work to the top" at. There are actual quite a few accountants who make in excess of $100,000 per year. Don't believe me? Google it.</p>
<p>-Course work in college is relatively easy. No, it's not as easy as film studies however it is MOST DEFINITELY not as hard as engineering, law, math, or even actuarial sciences. Expect MEDIUM difficulty. It's all basic math; the only monkey wrench with accounting is you just need to memorize the rules to apply said basic math.</p>
<p>-Solitary work. Accountants have been known to be "weird" and "introverted" because the profession has naturally attracted those types of people. You don't have to be a social butterfly to succeed in accounting. You walk in, sit down, get to work, then walk out.</p>
<p>Want to major in something that won't land you with the hipsters protesting on Wall Street? Go with accounting.</p>
