Cream’s assertion that accounting majors are guaranteed an upper middle class lifestyle compared to their finance counterparts is completely outrageous. ALL objective data available points out the fact that over the life of their careers finance majors make more money than accounting majors, and in most cases finance majors start out making more money as well. Accounting majors aren’t even guaranteed a decent job anymore because of people like Cream who have young high school students convinced it’s the road to security, which in turn jacks up the supply of labor in the accounting field, which then lowers salaries and job security. People need to be very careful about choosing a life in accounting. It is not what people are making it seem.
