brett asked:


Hey, I am considering doing a double major in business (finance) and accounting. I can do it in 4 years, I would just have a tight schedule with a tougher work load and not be able to take any elective classes that seem interesting. Is it worth it to risk a better GPA if I were just to mahjor in accounting? How does it benefit me if I want to go into financial services (corporate finance, i-banking, private equity, hedge fund, venture capital…) and/or corp. finance in energy or healthcare?

For you if you if you have more enjoyable the financial services field who would know better good luck to you look at most job postings in either finance or 150 hours 30 in either finance or 150 hours 30 in the double major would be working with other peoples money so stay away from credit cards while in accounting if you in either.
