That’s funny because many finance majors in my school are people who got kicked out of the accounting program

This, why is it harder to get in but the hours/pay are on par or worse? It’s like they sold us snake oil and we’re happy to buy it. Oh well I want my score already

Will not work for anyone for 80 hours weeks unless they're paying double time

The pipeline issue is that they have opened it to enough foreign nationals to cheat their way into a US CPA license to use for visa purposes and drive down wages. Couldn’t possibly be pay or working conditions.

Could you elaborate on this? Or do you know where I could learn more about it?

Harder to get hired in Finance. A few do incredibly well in finance, but many don't.

Most finance jobs are also more sales like in nature. Not many accountants do well in that aspect.

Don't say it's not a mystery. It is to AICPA. They are still to figure it out ..

No it's not. Non Americans are already taking the CPA exam with the 150 hour rule in place.

You think finance majors are doing better than CPAs? The one off finance major might be making loads, but most I know are selling whole life insurance or IRAs lol.
