I prefer accounting most rather than finance. Thanks!

@KieronPolard,

I believe Sophia is seeking detailed advice and/or a comparative analysis. It would have been helpful if you could have given her some rational behind your personal preference.

@Sophia - There are few questions you need to be asking.

1) What are you target undergrad or graduate course? Starting salaries for people having undergrad in accounting vs finance is similar. $40-$65,000 range. Again it depends upon your undergrad school as well as company that hire - Big4 - top3 etc.

2) Are you a career switcher? - Are you coming from a liberal arts background and trying to get into Acc/Fin using your masters or MBA? Both Acc/Fin - in my experience - requires some relative experience for higher positions else you'll be starting at the bottom / undergrad level salary.

3) Specialization? Is there anything you like - maybe Forensic accounting or Investment banking? certain areas within Accounting are high in demand - as are certain areas in Finance. Are you great with attention to details or are you comfortable dealing in uncertain scenarios with lot of assumptions?
