Economics or Accounting?

Either is acceptable, but accounting is probably a little more flexible, in so far as the transition between public and private practice. There is nothing wrong with econ though, from what I have heard there are many public administrators and government officials with economics backgrounds. One last caveat, many economists working for the national government have a PhD, so with just a masters you may be limited to working at the state or local level.
