I still don't know what to do with my life. Currently I'm deciding whether to go to computer science graduate school or accounting graduate school. If I go into accounting, I can finish within a year and immediately look for work. If I go into computer science, I will have to attend school, again, for the next 3 to 4 years.
I managed to find a career survey of San Jose graduates for the 2010/2011 year and it indicates that recent accounting graduates with a bachelor's has an average salary of $52,000 while ones with a masters have $58,000 per year. Computer science, on the other hand, those who had a masters degree earned more than $87,000 per year. nearly thirty grand more than accounting graduates. Though it sounds nice, I still have my reservations. I'm not sure if I can do a masters in computer science, and even if I do, I'm giving up three years of income to do it. Not only that, the amount of computer science graduates is sure to increase in the coming years, possibly making me worthless when I graduate. If I do accounting, I will graduate in one year, but if I can't get an internship then I'll be dead in the water. I don't know what path to take.
