Is Accounting a good major?

<p>im going to be a senior in high school. i love math and i feel like accounting is the perfect major for me. i recently went to visit canisius college and fell in love plus they have a really goo accounting program. </p>

<p>i spoke to an accounting professor there and i was originally going for the 5 year BS/MS program which you come out with your masters and qualify to take the CPA exam. however when i spoke to him he advised that i go for dual major in accounting and accounting information systems and do they 4 year program. after a few years of expierence come back and get my masters and take the CPA exam. yet i dont know if public accounting is for me. i dont know what to do. </p>

<p>4 years or 5 years? if i get my masters and take the cpa exam can i work for a private company or the government?</p>
