priZewaterhouse? lol

Althought Accounting *IS* boring (yes, I study it too) if you know what you're doing (which I don't) you'll fly through accounting easily.

Be wary, it is a long and tedious road you seek. My mother has been an accountant for over 20 years, and she says it takes a love of the field to succeed. When I asked if I should do it, she said straight out "if you don't know that by now, you'll hate it and fail and drop out and be screwed by the government"...ok, maybe not the bit about the government. But seriously, as a CPA she said that people looking into it should look into it very thoroughly before electing to enter the course.

I did accounting last semester at Uni and I have transferred to Banking and Finance (even though the first yr subjects are the same).

I personally didn't like accounting - too boring :) although I know a lot of people that really enjoy accounting - i spose it is whatever you like...

I enjoy economics more - it is more interesting and learnt more content about the world that seems to make sense..

When going for the UTS scholarship, don't answer the 'why are accounts paid so much?' question with a 'because it is a boring job' reply. A mate did that, and he didn't get very far.
