Hi Steve, thanks for replying. Well, to make a long story short I really should have gone the extra mile and completed accounting because that was my first choice. I was in a hurry to get a degree because I felt like I had procrastinated long enough (10 years). I chose marketing because it was very interesting to me and I was intrigued by everything that I was learning. Looking at it now it was not the best choice for me and I have not been able to find a job in that field. I worked full time while I was in school and I was not able to do an internship which I absolutely recommend everyone to do because if you don't it will be that much harder to find a job out there.
I have a few more options with accounting and I can work my way up which will be a good thing for me. I don't mind that! My goal is to start at the bottom in accounting learn while I work and go to school. I want to work at home as well (let's say 7-9 years down the line) doing individual and small business income tax returns.
The income potential is greater, I feel, than in marketing. Marketing is great income potential as well but in my experience just getting in the front door was a major hurdle. I'm sure there are those that will have a different experience. I certainly don't want to discourage the marketing students I am just relaying my experienc. I think doing an internship is the key!
