I definitely agree with you, Ziye. I am the friend that Guoyuhua is talking about, but I don't want to pull you into the wrong direction. I don't like the Advertising major at MSU not because it sucks but because it's not a good fit for my personality. I don't mean to tell you that accounting is better than marketing. Your table all points you to marketing, but i don't really see why you want to do accounting(maybe bc I influenced you?) I am now working in marketing department in a company in Silicon Valley. Whether you find a job today in US not only depends on your knowledge, but your luck, your personality. But no matter what you do-accounting or marketing, it is extremely hard to stay in US these days. If that's your plan and that's what you want, then maybe you should rethink about your decision of studying in US.
