Although some of these internships involved traditional accounting work, most provided problem solving projects allowing me to make recommendations for changes to be made within the company. This illustrates how accounting is shifting its focus to more problem solving and less number crunching. Being interested in working in Washington, DC, I have had several companies fly me in for interviews because they know I can be a valuable asset to them. I was also extended an offer with one of the largest accounting firms in the world by the first day of my senior year. If you want a challenge and you're a goal seeker, being an accounting major offers you all the opportunity in the world.
Employers seek accounting majors because of their dedication to excellence and hard work.
The opportunities are endless. Accounting majors can enter virtually any line of business. Perhaps an indication of this is the fact that, consistently year after year more accounting-major recruiters come on campus. Accounting is by far the best choice that I made besides coming to Bryant College. If you are unsure of your major, you may want to consider accounting because of the many opportunities it has to offer.
