<p>I’m a Math major at Duke who is interested in finance.
Which option is smarter and more fulfilling?</p>
<p>Getting a P.H.D in Math and then being a financial mathematics professor or getting a Masters in Accounting which will let me get my CPA and then I could eventually start my own business? Both options seem appealing.</p>
<p>The latter will take much less time and the former has more excitement to it.</p>
