<p>no one has answered my question…</p>
<p>I have answered your original question. Your most recent one was not a question. You simply stated the name of a degree and put a question mark after it like we’re psychics that know exactly what you wanted to know about it. Yes, professional accounting is a major, it does exist, it’s usually what they call a 5-year program that you leave with CPA eligibility. If you wanted more than that you need to ask a question in a complete sentece.</p>
<p>Also, cream, the “glass ceiling” is what feminists say prevents them from reaching upper management because they’re women. It has nothing to do with your job title and you can go from analyst to C-level management if you worked on it.</p>
<p>If you’re so concerned about money, go be an engineer. They’re guaranteed job security, and those who chose to go into the oil industry are paid handsomely. </p>
<p>Business majors have no guarantees have vast profits in the near future. It’s a huge game, you’re not guaranteed to make 100k+ upon leaving college.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>loooool what?</p>
<p>Obviously everything that Geil! says is correct, he is a HIGH SCHOOL senior after all…</p>
<p>Oh and by the way Geil!, engineers don’t make 100K leaving college either, you should really think about what you post on here as general facts</p>
<p>engineers??? this is a business major thread frankie</p>
<p>And to rephrase my question</p>
<p>Top 3 Job Placement</p>
<p>Top 3 starting salary</p>
<p>Top 3 potential top earnings </p>
<p>Accounting
Finance
Economics
Management
Integrated supply matrix management
marketing</p>
<p>and whatever i previously listed</p>
<p>i like the attitude and sense of entitlement displayed here</p>
<p>as well as the assumption that such rankings are universally applicable regardless of geography and school at which you pursue these majors</p>
<p>Top 3 Job placement:
Accounting
Marketing
Finance</p>
<p>I put marketing before finance on the assumption that this is an entry level job with no prior experience; apparently it can be quite challenging to find an entry level financial analyst job if you have no job experience in that area.</p>
<p>As for the rest, I can only speculate. I really think that the earning potential between finance and accounting is more based on individual decisions that the person makes after graduation such as</p>
<p>extra certifications acquired , like CFA, MBA, CA, CPA,
the job obtained and its potential for growth, + quality of the job
the amount of effort that one puts into the job, to get promoted, etc.</p>
<p>Also, if you major in finance or accounting and once you get some experience, you will likely be able to move into the other areas that you listed.</p>
<p>Engineering for money, haha.</p>
<p>Here’s the issue xkgx. Where you go to school is more important than your major for determining future jobs/salaries in business. You can be a French major at Harvard and get a higher paying finance job than a finance major at most colleges.</p>
<p>So without context, your question is impossible to answer.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Pretty much this. Basically if you want to make a lot of money, you should focus first on getting into a kick @ss undergrad school with connections/alumni in high places. If that doesn’t work out, you can either take a slightly riskier road and major in finance, and then try and network your way to the top anyways, or you can take a slightly safer route, major in accounting from a decent program, get a high GPA, and make a very good living, although it won’t be anywhere near what i-bankers potentially earn.</p>
<p>Oh also, why aren’t people talking about other goals you can have in accounting besides just becoming partner? If you go to a decent firm, you can exit the public industry and become a high-level corporate officer, you can do other work within your firm (i.e. consulting, tax M&A, etc.), or even open up your own tax business which all have potential to earn lots of money. Furthermore, you can work for the FBI in forensics, go to law school, etc. Accounting has some decent opps to make money as well.</p>
