Im trying to decide on a major when i go back to school. Kind of confused about what to go into, but was thinking maybe accounting or something to do with e-commerce. What salary expectations could i have with these careers?

In Florida accounting majors with a fairly high GPA going into public accounting will start around $50k out of school (with the MST or MSA necessary to sit for the exam). Accounting is a great career IF you like it. The important thing is to pick something you like. If you don't like public accounting the work load may get old quickly!
I can't provide insight to the other choice because I am a public accountant.

Aside from dating a few accountants (who, by the way are the cheapest men to date a real turn off) - I've learned they can make (as junior accountants) between 35-70K a year. I live in the DC metro area and know a guy, he's 35 a jr accountant making 42K a year.
Best of luck! Picking what you want to 'do for the rest of your life' is a really tough decision!!!

i've got consistently theory that staring at your person state's CPA sorting out standards became an exceedingly good thank you to be certain in case you took adequate accounting in college to be arranged to go into the accounting field. a tremendously good yardstick to apply. it extremely is AZ's: at a mininmum, they require 36 semester hours in accounting with 30 of those being interior the intermediate or greater branch area (Tax, Fund, value, etc.). additionally, like AZ, maximum states additionally require possession of a Baccalaureate degree (no longer unavoidably in accounting, however). seems such as you have the degree, yet how are you doing in the direction of the 36 semester hours?

Yes accounting is a good field to get into. Companies all need accountants, or you could set up your own practice.

It guarantees a stable income, but you'll work till wee hours to meet deadlines. Your social life will be non-existent.
