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!
