Once again, accounting has been ranked as the most sought-after college major by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). Opportunities are everywhere for this career with great work/life balance, solid job placement and immense long-term potential.
If you're a logical thinker who can organize and explain information, one of the accounting programs at Globe University/Minnesota School of Business may be a perfect fit. You can stop after learning the basics or keep going until you have a bachelor's degree diploma hanging on your wall.
