Finance or accounting degree?
#37
The reason I first decided to go for a general business degree is that I want knowledge of all areas of business, in order to manage a small business. I do not want to be an accountant (at least at this point). Actually, I want to go into a completely different field and I am getting the business degree to give me knowledge to run a business in my chosen field. However, I took my first accounting course, liked it, took another, liked it... and so on. Now I have 15 accounting credits with straight A's. At this point, I am really considering changing my degree program to accounting instead of having a general business degree with many accounting credits. Especially considering that it would only require 3 more accounting courses. But if I do accounting, I would not be able to do the courses/exams that I want to do in finance, management, and marketing. Since I am more interested in doing finance than management or marketing (and finance goes well with acc.), I am now considering doing a double major in accounting and finance. I think that having a degree in accounting and/or finance would open up more doors, but I am wondering whether the extra expense and time would be worth it. Considering that the double major would cost around $3,000 more and take at least 6 more months, is it worth it?

Any suggestions, thoughts or ideas are appreciated. And sorry for the long post.
