which field has better job opportunites, computer science or accounting?

I would say accounting.  I have a CS degree and there are no jobs in CS.  Pretty much all computer work is done in indea these days.  Computers are used more and more, but you don't need a computer programmer to use them anymore.  Computers have become appliances and people use them all the time and don't even realize it.  There are rather powerful computers in cell phones, VCR's, and video games, but you don't need to be a computer expert to used them.  So I'd go with accounting.  A lot of that is done in india too unfortunately, but there is still more demand for accountants that speak english than computer guys.

The process of accounting after the journal entry is passed is mechanical and it can be mechanised by using the logical flow of information.....\n\nTherefore, in Computerised accounting, you only record a journal entry...and the rest is done by the computer..\n\n\nlearn the fundamental concepts here to have a wonderful understanding on the basics of accounting...\n\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/accounting-process/study-notes/\n\n\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/\n\nhttp://www.schoolingkids.com/

Technical jobs are definitely more important.  In the last 20 years we've experienced a technological revolution.  Computers are the way of the future - so IT jobs matter!

i believe business is better, business is a big realm and it always gives you the chance to go higher in the hierarchical system. accounting will most probably keep you as an accountant, senior accountant, or chief accounant.

It all depends on your career goals, and what your aptitudes are. They are both excellent, but each require different skillsets. \n\nYou will need to be good at accounting and to thoroughly understand accounting principles if you want to pursue finance.

The first thing to note is that the answer to which is more interesting is completely subjective. If you took a random survey, my guess would be that more people would answer finance rather than accounting - but the bean-counter stereotype of accountants is rapidly changing with the hype generated by Worldcom, Enron, and the Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) Act.\n\nPublic accounting is a mighty interesting place to be, my recommendation would be take Intermediate Accounting - that's what will determine whether you can stand accounting. Nonetheless, auditing is a great springboard into anything in the business world.

A computer science degree would emphasis more on the programming side, while a computer engineering degree is more on the side of the whole picture.

The answer to question one looks like, in the near future, software engineering will have the largest job growth in the U.S. (see link [1]).  Computer science majors have the best chance at these jobs.  However, computer engineers are probably more flexible than computer scientists in their ability to design the hardware as well.\n\nWith an EE major, you don't limit yourself to software like you do with CS (although many EEs do work in the software industry).  EEs design electronics (from processors to cell phones to military electronics), power distribution, or communication systems as well as software.  Of course no one does all of these things, but with a master's in EE you can specialize in any one of these areas.  \n\nJust my opinion, hope it helps.

I would go with computing business coz this major will give you skills in computer and business administration and Management.  You need to realise the increasing intensity of competition with global markets has created an environmental where management is now seen as a crucial factor of competitive advantage.  The role of management is moving towards strategy not only in the implementation but also in the formulation.  But technology is not changing on a daily basis.  So in order to survive the employment sector, you will need skills in computer and business.

Accounting can have its negative connotations, but as an accountant, you are the saving grace of the company because the financial history, and future of a company depends on you.  They may just look like numbers, but it puts your morals to the test, (i.e. ENRON).  It's more that just manipulating numbers.

It totally depends on what you want to do.  I got a BofBA in accounting and now I'm an accountant.  Some of the folks I work with got Com degress and are now answering the phone in customer service.  I would say, for either degree, get a speacialty in something like marketing, management, journalism, etc. so that you'll be really great in one field.  It's better to be great at one thing than just ok at a lot of things.

Actually entering Computer field for a non maths background person is little bit difficult, for everything Computer these days is Mathematics. I am saying this for I am myself in this field, and I see extensive use of mathematics in Programming.\nFor business what I think best is Go for B.Com. from any very good university with finances as your major and then try for CAT. But make sure, higher grades you score, better the prospects. And one thing more GK and Good Interpersonal Skills are a must.\nOtherwise there are really many options but then they will not give you the best in life.

Accounting deals strictly with what has been done. Doing people's taxes for instance. You may give people some hints as to what they should do in the future but it is on the level of data x means y.\n\nActuarial science on the other hand deals with predictions. You have to look at trends and advise companies as to what they should do to make sure that they are dealing financially ethically with their customers but also not going to go under. \n\nFor example let's say that you would be working for a home insurance place and you notice that most years 1 home burns down. Well then you need to charge enough from your customers to deal with the cost of one of the homes burning down. YOu actually need to charge more than that because there is the chance that 2 homes could burn down and then where would you be? It seems incredibly difficult to me but if you are interested in it you should start by becoming a math major because you will be using a lot of high level statistics and calculus at the very least.

Those are two very good choices.  As is accounting.  Understanding the information system is key so I really like the double major.\n\nHave you had any opportunities to intern or work in an office.  Take the summer and try temping. You might find you like one area more than another.

management accounting is concerned with providing internal information for running a company.\n\nfinancial accounting is more for public consumption to convey business results.\n\ntax accounting is, you guessed it, to deal with paying the evil taxes.
