Also, what should I know about finance if I chose to major in it? For accounting, I know that it’s good to have a 3.0-3.5 to get a good job. Also, that I would need 150 credit hours to sit for the CPA exam. Well what about finance? Anything important about that field I should know?

And what’s the difference in the two.

Would working at a payroll company help me find a job in finance in the future?
I do a little accounting and everything else for this payroll company. Will I have a better chance at landing a job compared to working as a teller? Or is being a teller better?

I’m planning on applying for a finance position in May after I receive my degree in finance.

Thanks!

BusinessBeaver asked:


Trying to decide which major I want, I think I want to go into finance, but I am not sure. I know I am going into business- at a business school.

Also, if there are any people who have careers in finance, what do you specifically and do you like your jobs? Because I have an internship in finance and accounting and it is pretty boring…but it is just because they don’t give me enough work to do so I don’t feel like I have had the true experience.
