aj16 notes,"I think that the major difference between accounting grads and finance grads is that finance grads are FAR more passionate about their field of study. I know tons of people in finance who are happy with what they do (and not just because of the values in their bank accounts)

I have found virtually nobody in the field of accounting(except maybe taxguy) who is genuinely and pasionately interested in what their doing"

Response: I can’t say if you are correct,but I do remember a famous statement made by a billionaire: “If you perform services that others need but don’t want to do, you will get rich!”

What you said about accountants can be said about lawyers, dentists etc. However,these folks are laughing all the way to the bank. I will guarantee that very few finance majors really make a great living at it.
