Misc decide for me. Back to school for accounting would take about 1.5 years and I could probably work alongside it. Engineering would take about 2.5 years and I couldn't work full time along it cause well, I'm not that smart. I think accounting would have a higher ceiling when it comes to pay, but with all the new accountants, I fear the market getting flooded.
Or law school or Med school.

Accy is boring as fuk, basically everyone I've heard talk about working in accounting hates it.
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.
The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."
The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

Depends what accountant you want to be.
CA's make a sh!tload of money. CGA and CMA it's all a hierachy..thing with being an accountant though is that you have to have a certain mindset for it. Not everyone can be one and I know most people hate it.
Don't know about engineering, but I'm certain that the CA's make more than most engineers.Leafs, Raptors, Jays, umad?

Depends on what eng. you'd want to do.
As far as I know accounting is basically all the same. You're surrounded by numbers.
Engineering, there is software, computer, civil, nuclear, chem, mechanical, manufacturing, etc. etc. With engineering you can plan the future and make a difference in peoples lives. But I guess you can do the same in acct??
It's really up to you brah. Do some research.Mech E. Miscer

I'm right where you're at OP. I'm an Accounting major, with 1.5 years to go.
I do know a lot of accountants of course, but they don't "all hate it." It's just working with numbers. Either you're cut out for it or not.
I don't think there's a problem with accounting, there's a problem with the people that do it. It's a respectable job, people know there's money waiting for you, they don't know what else to pick, so they just do it. Then they get into the workforce, be an accountant for 5 years, then declare, "ACCOUNTING SUCKS! WOE IS ME!" Wtf, I guarantee you they never job shadowed an accountant to actually figure out what they'd be doing. They were just lured in by the salary.
