Is it really a huge surprise that accounting is one of the hottest majors going in the college classroom? Yes, you may remember the days when it was a really boring class that only the number nerds didn't regret taking.
With accounting classes requiring usage of spreadsheets and statistics, is it really so hard to imagine that it is something that you would actually want to take?
Ok, so maybe that was a trick question that i threw into the mix, but the fact of the matter is that according to a recent job outlook study accounting comes out on top as the most in demand major on college campuses.
"All the focus on accounting created a perception to students that accounting matters and is perhaps even sexy," says Ira Solomon, head of the department of accountancy at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Currently education institutions are recruiting as many teachers and professors as possible to replace the ones who are retiring. This opens up a decent opportunity window for accounting majors and their future careers because there are twice as many accounting facilities open than applicants to fill the positions.
According to the (NACE) National Association of Colleges and Employers, Accounting is rated the #1 field to get yourself into. So if you are a number cruncher, or a stickler for all the little details, then you may have a bright future in Accounting.
Additionally accounting beats out computer information sciences, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Marketing management, and Mechanical Engineering.
