Accounting or finance
Can't choose
Accounting fits me more but I want to fit to finance
But fitting to finance seems harder now with the tumbling on wall street
or is it???

Does anyone know if these recent times have any affect on finance/accounting prospects?

===
PS
I'm mad btw
Accounting is supposed to be the hardest business undergrad major.
Most lucrative college degrees - May. 9, 2003 2003, acct grew faster and was worth more than finance
Most lucrative college degrees '04 - Feb. 5, 2004
acct grew slower but still worth more
Starting pay for college grads posts modest gains - Feb. 10, 2005
Acct gets a rebound...
Most lucrative college degrees - Feb. 15, 2006
Both show great growth but finance grows even better
College grads see higher starting salaries this year - Jul. 12, 2007
Finance surpasses acct! And economics does even better (huh)
NACEWeb Press Releases
accounting stalls again, finance slows down but maintains and grows lead.

yahhhh so. What do you guys think about finance major and the recent tumbling of the big financials?
