i'm almost positive that accounting has the hire starting salary and also the higher ceiling as well. Salaries in the accounting industry vary depending upon whether or not you have your CPA, are working in public accounting or private, size of the firm, and if you are a CFO of a corporation, you're probably looking at a salary well into the 100k maybe as high as 300k per year.

Starting salary for graduates out of college, I would say Electrical Engineer. But if the Accountant has passed the CPA exam, then I would say the starting salary of the Accountant would be higher. If the Accountant adds an MBA, then the salary will go even higher with potential to move into upper management. Overall, I would say the Accountant has the potential to make more.

CEO of Microsoft.
But if we limit it to Accountant or Electrical Engineer -- it depends. There is high demand for people in both fields. There is more room for growth in Accounting.
I've provided two links below that will give you more information.

Depends, you get rich electrical engineers and poor accountants and vice versa - depends how good you are and who you work for... generally speaking though, the accountants make more money ;-)
