Did you do any high school business studies? It's a bit like that at first. It's not really number crunching for 3 years, maybe only for first semester, first year. Accounting essentially involves subjects that cover business management, stakeholder value, corporate financial analysis and real world issues such as corporate collapses and auditing.

I believe if you major in accounting, you tend to do accounting courses.

My impression of it is that.. if you like everything in order, do things according to the book, are not bored by repetition and rules, and work consistently then it suits you.

THat said, accounting majors tend not to have much problem finding related jobs

Indeed. Both domestically and overseas, there's still a shortage of GOOD accountants despite the huge numbers that universities are pumping out these days... but nonetheless, it all comes down to how well you can sell yourself to an employer.

At UNSW anyway, I think there are more chicks doing accounting than guys..

I have to say it's pretty much even, only reason why it would seem that way is because guys tend to not show up for class.
