@eyemgh I’m a CPA with 30+ years – many many accountants work for corporations and public firms and don’t do tax work. Still there is a busy season, typically when financial statements are about to be issued. And young accountants at the big public firms so work a ton of hours whether they are on the tax or audit staff.

I do agree with you that sometimes it is necessary to commit early – for many colleges one would need to apply directly to a business or engineering program and it can be difficult to flip into that program down the road. and the option is typically open for a students to move out of an engineering or business program.
