I have degrees in Finance and Accounting... in Finance they teach you how to lose all the shareholders' money. In accounting they teach you how to cover it up.

With that said, I am the director of trading operations and investment analysis/research at a financial services firm. Contrary to popular belief, I was not responsible for the flash crash.

Accounting was terrible. I wasn't too bad at it but just HATED the material and class. FineAnts was alright, I enjoyed it more than acct.
IT was my forte

Very well said. I have a degree in Computer Information Systems with Business Admin. I enjoyed both Finance & Accounting though finance was/still is higher up in my preference list. I was always amazed at how easy the accounting rules made it to distort the numbers whichever way one needed it to be for disclosure purposes. I used to work for one of the largest asset manager firm in the world interacting on a close basis with traders, research analysts & investment bankers (Many of whom not all had egos the size of Texas

). I personally thought that many needed to go back to school to rehash basic finance principles though coming from Ivy League schools. I ended up being right when the company was forced to disclose a $2,000,000,000 loss due to some poor bets in the midst of the crisis.

Some of the stuffs, I found from those guys's workstations hosted on the enterprise storage and backup replicated devices. They would even hide it under several nested folders and name it Mikey Mouse for instance thinking they were too smooth... It was unbelievable

I started out the other way -- I was really interested in Accounting and my faculty advisor got me to look at doing the double w/ FineAnts and I did it. Turns out I liked that more and got really involved with all the programs at school and here I am. For some reason employers like the Accounting degree ontop of Finance... probably because they think they will save money because instead of hiring a separate person to cover up for your fraud, you can do it yourself.

Though I swear when I finally buy an expensive car the plates are going to read "CR CASH"

You are setting yourself up for "CEO" with that degree combo though.
I think then the plates will read M4LAMBO

As long as I continue to lose money I think I'm in good shape to move up to a corporate leadership role. Though I might start looking at porn at work... then I'd have an "in" for an SEC gig.
