Accounting vs Finance: How to pick what is right for you

Accounting Vs Finance, finance vs economics, finance vs medical professions, finance vs engineering? I've been asked many times what the right career path to go down is and how to pick what is best for you. I did the same thing in my teenage years, doing tons of research to find what the best career is for myself. I give you the best advice to help you figure out what the right move for you to figure out what career path you want to go down in life.

I had a buddy that went back to school for accounting in his 40's and completely changed his life around from what he had learned. Got out of debt, payed off his house, and make tons of money working as a freelance accountant. It is amazing watching someone going from living in their van down by the river to having a nice house in just a few years.

The reason of why I favor accounting over finance is because of the following reasons:
1. Accounting is more stable and provides a really good consistent pay especially if you have a CPA
2. Later down the road it’s not that competitive or hard to put a business related to what you studied
3. There is a bunch of freelance accounting work that is available to do
4. To get a good job after college does not take to much networking or having much connections as the ones that you should have if you want to land a prestigious finance position after college
5. Accounting is the language of business and working in accounting will definitely show you what businesses are good to invest in and what are good investments to make.
6. With an accounting degree you could work in finance, but with a finance degree you cannot work in accounting.

Thank you god you brought up that if you're a quiet person that just wants to clock in and clock out to pick accounting. I'm on my 2nd year of school majoring in accounting and that's exactly what I want to just do my job and get out

Just recently stumbled across your channel researching accounting & finance as a new career. Much thanks for sharing your insight it's very helpful and practical advice from someone who actually has worked in the field.

[yoyoyoable]

I’m really glad I found your channel, I was doing dental school but I’m going into accounting to be an IRS agent

[johncena]

Thank you !! This video was very helpful !!

I wish I could have seen your videos about 6 years earlier. I have a Finance/Economics bachelor degree. Working on a master in international business. And will be going for my CMA in the near future . I realized I wanted a more flexible career to support my traveling itch. And accounting seems more versatile with remote opportunities. I did some consulting for financial modules of ERP systems as well. and that is basically all accounting with tech . I'm 6 years out of college and finally have an understanding of the market, it would have been great to already have that direction before hand but the reality is some times you just need to try different careers/professions and see how they align with your life ambitions. Somewhere along the road you will discover what it is you truly want to do with your life.I like your videos. Keep up the good work !

[josephpage]

Thank you for clarifying the differences between the two. I'm leaning more towards accounting.

[tinalaine]

loved your was toying with the idea of a masters in finance but i want to start my own company down the road. When i was in high school i wanted to get an accounting degree but was discouraged to do so. After your video the light bulb just went off for me. Accounting is what i want to study now. Thanks!!!

[queendoss]

Thanks for sharing I decided to do both accountant and CFO. I am Very Happy with the decision

[audreymeyer]

Thank you for your videos. I may go back to school to get my degree in accounting. I have always loved numbers and I like being frugal and organizing my money. Anyways, keep up the videos. Oh, and I am going to listen to your podcast in the morning.

Leaving nursing, considering a career in finance or accounting but I can't decide. I just want a clock-in and clock out job, I'm introverted, reserved, introspective...I work well independently and I enjoy budgeting. Im 27 so if I go back to school for a Bachelor's I wanna make sure I make the right choice. :/

[thatredhead]

Who you are is so empowering, you’re so knowledgable & driven!! Where is the 10 steps to get like you!!

[koomedia]

Today I will be submitting my area of specialization at the University . I have learnt alot and I have decide to pick Accounting

[janicehull]

Big help. I’m thinking about accounting

[uw]

I know I'm late but I really hope you answer this! What if i double major in accounting and financial management (they offer them together in a certain uni in my country) or should I pursue finance or accounting alone? Also, is management science a marketable option? Thanks in advance!

[kimberlyramirez]

Literally, her child hood and what she experienced in High School from wanting to go into a medical school was exactly what I experienced in my life. I feel like me and her have the same personality. I will most likely come out of college with my Bachelors Debt free like her, she has the same taste in hair and clothing as I do. I just think it is crazy! I am currently a junior and can not decide if I want to do finance or accounting and I need to decide this semester, but this video helped a lot!! thank you!
