I am considering to major in accounting or Finance. I do not hate accounting and it seems like an enjoyable profession to me, however the problem I have with it are the tough work hours.

I’m talking like 70-80 hours work weeks in some areas of accounting. I want to be able to live a healthy life, exercising regularly (at least once a day), and I don’t want to come home exhausted from my 10 hour work day.

I would love to hear from accountants or accounting majors or even people who know someone in accounting, and wondering how much free time you guys have. Thanks.
