<p>Do accounting majors always become accountants? Or can accounting majors also delve into the world of finance or consulting? When I say consulting, I mean recruited for a junior analyst position in one of the major consulting firms.</p>
<p>And are accounting majors, who don't plan to work for a large public accounnting firm, still generally expected to be CPA certified?</p>
<p>Does anyone know of any examples where someone majored in accounting but ended up doing something fairly unrelated to accounting?</p>
