Many people who do that are miserable. However, by now you have probably taken at least an accounting course. Did you find it interesting? If so, then that might be an area you want to consider. If not, do you prefer the money side of business to the people side? That is really the difference. If you like business because you are fascinated by money, then finance or accounting will be appropriate. If you like business because you enjoy dealing with people, management and marketing make more sense. Wanting to have your own business is great, but you can do that from any perspective. If you don't have a burning desire to be an entrepreneur right now, get good overall skills and some work experience in a field that interests you.<br><b>References : </b><br> Don’t base your decisions on starting salary alone.

Whatever career you choose, you will be doing 40 (or more) hours per week for many years (up to 45 years). What field will you enjoy the most? Certainly jobs in finance and accounting are readily available but I know people who took those paths and were bored to tears, and ended up going back to school to get another degree.
