Which Career Path is better? Accounting or Banking?

We Answered:

I think accounting. I just answered another question about accounting. As I told him, have you heard for forensic accounting (to add some spice to this field)? A forensic accountant investigates suspected financial misconduct and helps to prepare the evidence used to argue a case in civil or criminal trials. This field is also referred to as "investigative accounting." A forensic accounting specialist works by auditing and verifying records, collecting evidence, and interviewing people involved in the case.
