Response: Generally, you should have an accounting degree if you want to work for an accounting firm..DUH! Some of the larger firms do have consulting divisions. If they do, they might take a few economics folks;however, even the consulting divisions usually want accountants with computer science or some other speciality.

However, don't forget,lawyers go to school for an extra two years over that of accounants. The partners of big firms make about what the partners make at top accounting firms.
But like I said what if your school only has an accounting minor, or nothing at all?

And why do we keep talking about partners? Very few will make it there, and if they do, they've already been working for ~20 years on an average salary
