What is the difference between a career in Finance and a career in Accounting?

Submitted by on December 1, 2009 – 11:16 amNo Replies


A web user asks, I am thinking about going back to school to get a BS in Business Administration.

I would like to know what the difference is in careers in Finance and Accounting. Has anyone had a career in either field? What I want to know is:

What did you think of your career?

What did you do all day in Finance or Accounting?

Did you find it exciting or really boring?

For a career as a Financial Planner or Financial Advisor, do you work off of commision only?

Any information would be very helpful. Thanks.

Can you help them out? Post your advice!
