Hi,
I am going to graduate school soon in Fall 09. I have a BBA in Finance.I have interest in IT as well too.But, I have not been able to make up my mind. I do deeply think that Accounting is the right degree to get. With an internship or two with accounting degree, one can get a job. But in IT, it is not impossible, but matter of luck , interview as well as skill developed through self learning might help. Please advise on this. Does Accounting degree have a long term future in the US. I know , starting salary isnt quiet high, but after a CPA certificaton, and few years of experience at big 4, one can be in pretty good position. Please enlight me. Any accountanst here.

Thanks in advance.
