I am currently stuck with what I want to do with my life. If i go into business, I will either major in Economics, Finance, or Accounting. Any suggestions based on salary, and job opportunities. Thanks.

    I have a cousin in accounting. She double majored/ dual degree in Finance and Accounting . She is an accountant. She scored a supervisor’s position in Koch Lp because of her second degree in finance.
    You can work for auto dealers helping with loans, Banks, payroll positions, accounts payables, or work in small to corporate businesses in their various accounting departments.
    Economics seem limited in employment opportunity . ..but pay well if you find a position requiring the degree in economic.

    Hardly! What goes down must come up. Stop being short-sighted — NOW is the time that people need financial advice and management.
