hey! accounting is not boring, it just depends on how u look at it. i like accounting, because i look at things in a simple way. just like in the balance sheet, everything is supposed to be in balance.

and accounting does have a GOOD FUTURE. though the accounting equation is simple and straightforward, that's the golden rule that no businessman should ever forget. many CEOs were promoted from CFO, and many CFOs were accountants.

personally speaking, accounting is more practical than finance. according to the conclusion of a recent accouting professional seminar hold in NYC, there're more job opennings for accouting pros. so if u want to work in U.S., i suggest accounting.
talking about the circumstance in China, most accounting practice is more like simple bookkeeping. the market needs more professional accountants to reconstruct the system. what's more, the integration of the global economy is forcing an integration of worldwide accounting standards. China follows IASB rules, however, U.S. still stick to its FASB rules, which are quite different from IASB. the chinese market demands accountants who are familiar with FASB rules. so if u want to go back to china after graduation, i still recommend accounting.

no offense to finance!
I may go to extremes a little bit. =P

谢谢！受益匪浅！

I dont know much about visa either. but it's true that not many chinese students pursuing MSA in U.S. The CPA certificate is more demanding.

You are absolutely right that when talking about visa, it's totally a diffrent story, usdusaj. I dont know what to say. But it's really frustrating for so many chinese business professionals struggling in this long-term visa application war, which sometimes turns out to be a waste of money, time and labor.

i believe there is one day that we chinese people can turn this situation around, there is one day that million of foreigners would be eager to squeeze in the gate of China.

说得太好了！One day!
