Answer 1 :
I think Accountant is better. Job opportunities include public accounting, government, private industry and forensic accounting. There are also opportunities in tax preparation, cost management and even jobs with the FBI. Accounting opportunities are not limited to the ones named above.

Which makes more money? Accountants (Modal salary £35k versus £30k) http://www.salarytrack.co.uk/salary.php?keywords=accountant&location=&job-title=on&submit=Search+Salaries Which is harder to make more money? Interesting question, there is less chance of zapping your brains out as an accountant. Both require a lot of knowledge. Accountancy probably requires longer hours, but that will depend on where you work. Which one is harder to get a job? Accountant Which one company wise willl make more? That will depend a lot on how well you manage your business, the best electrician companies make more than the worst accountancy firms. But I imagine as a sole trader you could make more as an electrician. Conclusion: You can make a good living as either. Both require a commitment to study. Both have potential for you to open your own business. I would suggest that you concentrate more on the intrinsic qualities of the two occupations to find which would be a better fit for you. Do you want your study to be practical or theoretical? Do you want to work with your hands? In an office?
