<p>This is an interesting read for accounting students. The report is usually done each year by the AICPA and looks back on the previous year, so this report is for the 2007-2008 Academic year and looks at the supply and demand for accounting students/jobs/etc.</p>

<p>Thanks for the link. I noticed on pg 55 (of 64, also Sec1:51) it said that only 3% of employees at accounting firms held MIS/Computer related jobs. Is it a bad idea for me to be double majoring in Accounting and MIS?</p>

<p>You’ll either do accounting work or IT work. Accounting has more potential later on, so I’d go with that.</p>
