In Waco?
ETA: I highly doubt the second part of that, unless they went to an Ivy league and work in NYC.

I should update my location but for nostalgia reasons I SHALL NOT!Posted on 6/16/09 at 6:23 pm to kfizzle85
NAH it's true...in Texas we have 3-4 top 25 accounting programs(depending on what rankings you are looking at)...some of those programs get their kids cherry picked by NYC Investment Firms...i know a few of those lucky bastards..i will be handing them my resume some day.

fwiw i know a lot of people that work in those industries, some that actually interview new hires now, and from what i'm told it is very difficult to break in with an accounting degree even from a target school

The best high-end earning potential is in investment banking so if you're purely going for dollars and don't mind working REALLY hard I would go finance and take the internal audit program. Internal audit could get you into a firm on Wall Street and might enable you to make the right connection to get into investment banking.
I'm not a big fan of an undergraduate business degree unless you intend to specialize in accounting/banking/finance, etc. In most other corporate jobs the high risers have to get MBAs which render an UG business degree worthless anyway. An MBA coupled with a degree that gives you an actual skill (like engineering) or that teaches you to actually think for yourself (philosophy, economics) gives you a deadly competitive edge.
