Many people may not like math related majors because there are too many numbers and it is very boring and tough. Especially the accounting major, which is the major that I am having right now, is a big disaster for most students. However, I also did not expect to choose accounting major until one accident happened on me.
At the beginning of my college life, my major is computer science because when I was young, I was always dreaming to become a programmer and a hacker to do whatever I want. But when I was about to finish my 2nd semester in college, and my older sister invited me to visit her house for it’s been a long time that we haven’t met each other.

In addition, personally I think the accounting major is more interesting and has deeper knowledge than the computer science major. There are too many taxes and accounting professions needs. Despite the fact that computer science major would provide people a better understanding of computer and it helps a lot in the future high-tech society, its pros outweigh cons. I do love to make accounting to be my
