I am a Real Estate and Finance major. Should I major in Accounting (and go for the CPA) too?

I am a Junior at a State University. Currently I am double majoring in Real Estate and Finance. My expected graduation, as of now, is May 2010. I am a little concerned about the finding a job after college, with the outlook for Finance and Real Estate jobs not being so hot. I would like to work in the Real Estate/Investment world (not brokerage or appraisal), possibly working for a REIT or something similar. I considering continuing my education for another year and getting an additional agree, this one being a B.S. in Accounting and going for my CPA. I have heard that a strong accounting background is very valuable in the business world and will also make you more marketable when looking for a job. What I am really wondering is= Is it really that beneficial and worth it to take another year of classes to get a degree in accounting? Or would it be a waste of time, and I should just attempt to enter the job market in 2010 with my Finance and Real Estate Degree?

CPAs are always in high demand. You may want to consider it.

If you have the aptitude/interest in Accounting, an extra year is a small investment to earn the CPA. A CPA will provide more employment options – if you plan on using the skills. And, if you think about it, with the job market the way it is, it may be wiser to spend the time in school now, as you’ll likely have more economic positives in a year.
