I don’t know if it’s for the wrong reasons, but there’s a lot of things about being an accountant that I actually like. I like the job security, the salary, and the not so extreme excessive hours. The idea that if I get into a big 4 firm, take the CPA test and pass I’ll be able to get into a really good MBA program (no longer thinking about this Rutgers program). After that I feel like my possibilities and potential will be endless, and I’ll be extremely marketable. The only thing about Accounting I’m worried about is that I’ll find it boring once I get into it. There are a couple things that seem very interesting though like Forensic Accounting, and like everyone on these boards will tell you, you can do a lot as a CPA.
