Accounting or Business Administration ?
I'm in business school and have to choose my major in two weeks. I'm undecided whether I should enter accounting or business administration.
Up until the end of sophomore year(this past year) I had wanted to enter accounting. But I collapsed the last month of the school year and had to stay at home without studying. I recovered 1 week before the final exams. That left me with 1 and 1/2 days only to study each of the eight subjects.
Although I usually do well in both accounting and business administration subjects , i failed the accounting course, it being the 1st exam after my sickness and 1 day not enough to solve most of the problems covered throughout the course.
I've realized over the past years that I usually collapse towards the end of the school year. This has made me have 2nd thoughts about majoring in accounting. Chances are big that I collapse towards the end of each school year and if I major in accounting, it being mainly made up of quantitative subjects, it will be practically impossible to catch up on all eight subjects, which would mean I would have to repeat the year.
On the other hand, if I don't fall sick, which, by the way,the chance is slim, I really enjoy accounting and I think there's more job opportunities for an accounting major.
I like business administration courses as well too, but not as much as accounting, because they require a lot ot reading and it's theoretical. But the good side of majoring in business administration is that if I fall sick, I can at least pass the courses by studying from the summaries. Also, people say that the business administration major is easier than accounting. But the negative side is, what jobs are available for a business major graduate ? I don't think there's many.
At the college i'm at , if you fail more than 2 subjects throughout the school year, you have to repeat the year, because there are no summer classes and no make-up exams. Also, I can't transfer to another college.
What do you think I should do, major in business administration and take it the safe and easy way, but with little chance of finding a job when I graduate, or should I major in accounting, with big chances of me failing the year if I fall sick, but better chances of finding a job upon graduation?
WHAT JOBS ARE AVAILABLE FOR A BSUINESS MAJOR GRADUATE?
I've already lost many years previously due to other reasons, so I don't need to lose any more.
Any advice would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

do what you really love to do in your heart. you dont want to get out there and be stuck with a sucky job that you hate. this year try not to get to stressed out about finals and keep yourself really healthy. take extra care to take a shower everyday, wash your hands all the time, eat healthy foods, drink 6-8 glasses of water a day etc. i think you might be getting sick every year because you are stressing out over exams. my mom is an accountant and she really loves her job.she also went on to take special accounting classes after college, through her work, which got her a big promotion. but really you have to do what feels write for you.
