But if you want to stick to biz admin, I’d do accounting.

I didn’t study business in college. But if I were to do a biz major, I’d do accounting. You don’t have to do it to become an accountant. You can use accounting as a solid foundation in business. I’ve known many people who start out doing accounting. And once they’ve moved up higher, they have many options (finance, marketing, etc.) to choose from. This happens in both prestigious and non-prestigious firms. You can simply use your experience in accounting as a stepping stone to climb the corporate ladder.

In case you’re also considering finance, I’d say don’t study it. Although if a finance job is what you want, study either accounting or mathematics/statistics. In the finance field, you have to be strong in at least one of those things. It’d be hard for someone to REALLY make it in finance, especially investment banking, without being good in math. There’re plenty decision makers in finance that studied math in college.

I hope you find what you like. It’s good to think about money (because you need to look out for yourself), but you also want to enjoy your job at least a little. A few years ago, studying computer science was the thing. But now you can see that many computer guys are being replaced by Indians. This could also happen to any other jobs out there. Whatever you decide to study, make sure that you’ll have the essential skills that will help you survive (to changes in your job or in life in general).

UPDATE: I just saw your extra question about salaries. At this point, accountants don’t make much money compared to many other jobs. But it’s easy to find an accounting job. For finance, not all of them make good money. Many people go into finance thinking that they can make millions. Yes, the guys on Wall Street make millions, but they have their PhD’s–in engineering, physics, math. I can bet with you that none of them did their undergrad in finance. Prestige aside, in the long run, nurses make very good money when compared to doctors (you need to take into account debts that med, dental, or pharm students go into).

i started my own company with no clue about accounts and stuff now were turning over 250,000 pa, and i just get a bookeeper in twice a week and pay him 80 for the two times he comes in,

80 a week for the work he does is nothing!!!

I have read your background, I will presume you know the importance of language and jargon. I think that your proposal must line up with the language and jargon of a bureacracy not a business. Whenever, one considers making system wide changes you must prepare for purposeful confusion by those who want to maintain the status quo, and passive aggressive resistance by the competition. My final point on the aforementioned statements; if a business is run like a government, their would be no business. If a government was run like a business we would not have a bureacracy. So verbal clarity is absolutely necessary.

My second concern is that the tax laws are so layered with complication, it is a hard sell on even grasping an idea that is workable, because know one has done this. I am not saying you do not have the skills for this, but it is unbelievable. People will think it is a hoax. If this were 50-60 years ago and the American public was not so cynical about government, you could be heard with a different ear. I am certain this is an objective you would have to overcome. “It sounds to good to be true.”

Lastly, assuming your idea is true. It is important to introduce and articulate it in the right forum, that will lend legitimacy and integrity. For instance, how is this any different than Prime America’s approach. From my experience they have used a bait and switch tactic. People have been exposed to pyramid schemes. We have all won something over the computer, but we haven’t put our name in to compete for a prize.

Please don’t take my remarks as a criticism of your efforts. I would hope you can get it done. These are the barriers to legitimacy that anyone must overcome in this day and time to better serve people, because government has failed miserably.
