Basically I'm at a crossroad in my life right now. 2nd year in college and I've been doing nothing but science-related majors so far. It was not until this point that I realized sciences are no good for me. It's not because I failed any science classes, but more to do with my enjoyment and understanding (I'm just scraping by). After taking my first econ class and discovering my knack for it, I've developed an interest. I guess it runs in my blood too, since my Dad did finance but sucked at science.
My question to you guys are what are the little differences between these 3 fields? I've only touched on Econ, because that is the only thing my school offers, and I have no idea what finance or accounting is like.
Options:
1. Continue with my misery in environmental science
2. Possibly move back home and go to a CSU (accounting/finance)
3. Transfer into Economics at my current school (Davis)
P.S. And I know it would seem like an obvious choice to get out of Environmental sci, but I've taken many of the classes that need to be fulfilled for it already (luckily econ has many overlapping classes that are math-related), which weighs in a bit on my decision/indecision if you will.
As far as I know, I think it'll be easier to come out and get a job related to the field as an accounting/econ/finance major as opposed to a science-related major with only their bachelors, yadadimean? I honestly don't like the idea of coming out and doing something I had no intention of doing...Shed some light on me guys...especially the ones who majored inecon/accounting/finance...I wanna know what your experience was like aswell as what your career aspects are.
