Still, im assuming that I would probably score much higher in accountancy than law (law is much more competitive), so the pay won’t be that different.

Can anyone give me some advice? Will I be better off as a better-than-average accountant or an average lawyer? How about the working hours? (I think accountancy would be slightly better)

Thanks for any inputs!

The average lawyer earns more than average accountant.
Even at junior level, per hour law beats accounting.

In terms of AI replacing you, both are equally susceptible.

Accounting entry is easy, just an ACCA. Law is so much more difficult.
