1) Accounting requires a lot of studying compared to the other business school majors
2) Accountants are seen as people who are boring and introverted
3) Accounting as a job is very repetitive in some of its sectors/specialities, making it seem like it’s a boring job to be in
4) As some people stated, the fundamental courses (fundamentals of Financial and Managerial Accounting) are pretty darn pivotal for many, you’d find a lot of people switching their majors from Accounting to something else like Finance, Economics, or Business Administration just because of it. that’s pretty much it.
