Accounting (CPA) VS Law Career?
|
Hey everyone, thank you for taking the time to hear me out. I am currently an eco major (going into senior year) and have had to take Business Pre-Calc, Business Calc, and various stat courses, along with already having an associates degree in business and have taken accounting courses. I currently fulfill more pre-reqs towards a CPA route (MS degree or MBA route). I am confident that I can be a CPA, but at the same time I have always had a strong interest in law. However after reading MANY internet sources, including the wall street journal, I am not confident that my interest in law is enough to pursue that passion. I always hear everybody say, "Do what you want and have an interest in doing", well im a little bit different. I would be happier doing something like accounting which ive been told is a exploding field with potentially high incomes, rather than "pursing my dream" and earning 30k a year after a long haul at law school. Also note that I come from a family w/ a successful family business that spends large amounts on accountants, so on top of working in public accounting I would have a lot to do with finance and accounting for our business. So my question to you guys is do you see law as a dieing field, and greater opportunities in accounting as a CPA? Im a firm believe in incentives. I just dont want to waste time at law school if theres no payoff, so what do you guys see as a job with more economic security (demand for it), and as a job that will always yield income? I appreciate it thank you for your help.
