^ In terms of whether or not Finance is more interesting, Finance can still be very tedious and annoying at times (just my opinion). I’m taking this Finance course on valuation, M&A at Ross (Michigan) and basically all we do is case studies that are similar to real-world modeling work in i-banking and corporate finance (treasury side). Spending hours and hours modeling on Excel and making sure you get the technical stuff right while working on excel can be very grueling and extremely annoying and outright boring at times. I do like the big-picture stuff when everything is all done, but I wouldn’t say its any more interesting than the accounting courses I have had.
