MattMan asked:


I am in college now, with just one year left to go. I’m double majoring in Accounting and Finance. It’s not that I really love either of those subjects, I just wanted a good job, with a nice paycheck.

What do you think of my decision? Is anyone else an Accountant? Finance person? Both? Has anyone gone for the CPA? Any suggestions or lessons learned from your own experiences that you could share with me??? Thanks!!
