The biggest issue with the “don’t commit now” argument is that engineering curricular are very rigid and sequential. It’s ALWAYS easier to switch out of engineering than into engineering.

As for quality of life, accounting will be quite a bit easier in college, but if he plans on going into tax accounting, which most do, it’s crazy busy for about half the year. I’m not sure the lifestyle would be greatly different.

What school(s)?
