I am glad that you have found your niche. Given that I am a finance major you can imagine how annoying it is when other people belittle your area of study. I did not want to come off like an ass, it just gets annoying when engineering and accounting majors have to constantly explain how good their degree is. While their is not doubt than an accounting degree with take you far, I still maintain that most accounting curriculums provide little to no investment training. Thus, it may be more difficult for an accountant to be a banker, hedge fund manager, broker, real estate person than it would for someone who is well versed in finance.
