Which is a better double major: ACCOUNTING & ECONOMICS or ACCOUNTING & FINANCE or ECONOMICS & FINANCE???

Question

I'm talking in terms of

1) the easiest

2) most work opportunities

3) salary $$$

Thanks...

Answer 1

1) For easiest, go with accounting and economics.

2) For most work opportunities, go with accounting and finance.

3) For highest salary, go with accounting and finance.

Accounting and finance would be more applicable to work. Economics is more theory-based.

Answer 2

The best major for work opportunities and salary is Accounting. Economics useful mainlyh on a graduate level. Economics degrees for undergrad mean nothing. Whereas undergrad is an incredibly high demand undergrad degree because there is far more general ledger style accounting jobs out there than candidates. So why do you want to double major? I would say forget undergrad Economics and instead do Economics in grad school, using your money there, if you love economics. If you prefer business than skip economics and get an accounting job and work on your CPA and go up the corporate ladder if you enjoy leading people as a manager. If you like investments, get your CFA instead of your CPA; that is hot designation and pay can be in the $300,000 range for a securities analyst and much higher for portfolio mgr. Bottom line Accounting is an outstanding degree.

Answer 3

econ & fin ====> the easiest
acctg & fin ===> most work opps
econ & fin ====>salary (if you land a govt job abroad!)

How about acctg & marketing?

Acctg for work opp/salary at the same time engage in part-time biz of your own (using your mktg expertise)...and when your part-time biz income more or less equals your salary (from job) then you can now concentrate in expanding your own biz and say goodbye to your boss.

Always remember no one gets rich through employment, only in business for yourself!

J.O.B. means "just-over-broke"....would you want this the rest of your life?
