<p>Accounting as a subject of study can be considered intrinsically conservative. What's the environment at an accounting firm/job like? Are most people involved in the accounting profession conservative/republican? Is it the same for other business majors, such as marketing?</p>
<p>Most people I've come into contact at my business school seem to be conservative, and this is far from a BYU or A&M (or so I thought, this is Texas after all...) Just wondering if that translates to the business world as well. If so I will need to reconsider my major and career choices promptly. </p>
<p>Thank you, and please keep it civilized. This is not an attack in any way and not looking for arguments.</p>
<p>You REALLY can’t stereotype folks. I have seen both very outgoing accountants (such as my son) and very introverted accountants. They represent the full political spectrum…</p>
<p>I think accountants generally tend to be more conservative…but that presents an interesting paradox. </p>
<p>They can’t be TOO conservative, otherwise there would be no more tax work for them. You would almost expect them to be liberal, more taxes, more work!</p>
<p>Accountants, I think tend to be libertarian (fiscally conservative, socially liberal). However, they are not usually superpolitical like lawyers, teachers, or other liberal arts background people. Still no stereotype really works, Ive met big4ers who i found out on Huntington Post who donated to Obama or McCain last cycle.</p>
