ME's make more money initially. But, long term, tax accountants do well, especially if they start their own companies.

In North America accounting is a very popular major right now. But i guess in few years it would be great to have an engineering degree, one might make a lot of money. These two though will always keep bread on your table. If you are good at it and experienced both are highly paid. I would go with engineering because there are too many accountants out there! Good luck!

yes engineers are better paid, but tax accounting is kinda an entry level role. Your main focus should be on advancement. Accounting can be a lucrative field. Many corporate controllers and chief financial officers, as well as other executives, got their start as internal auditors (a very common entry level accounting position) or in charge of certain company accounts. Engineering from what I know promotes more based on seniority, where many veterans are making over $100k. Of course many engineers also move into more supervisory or executive positions (like Jack Welch, once an electrical engineer and now CEO of General Electric).

Well you will always have a job doing both ....mecahnical engineers will always have a job in these big production plants and what not. We will always have to pay taxes...but more than likely you will make alot more money as a mechanical engineer.
