Yeah, you should definitely go with accounting.

You may work with people who are smarter than you but you will never work with someone who can outwork you.
 

Definitely accountants. Your hours are crazy and you will have almost no life, but if you don't mind that, you can start at a high salary. Banking you'll only be working 12 hour days during busy seasons, but the work tends to be quite boring and you make significantly less. However, you have more opportunities to have a social life. Though a lot of bankers like to break into accounting later on in their career.

You're an asshole lol
 

Definitely easier if you work for what accounting circles refer to as the Big4 - H&R Block, TurboTax, Intuit Inc, and TaxACT

Well the answer depends,

Are you talking about earning more on a pecuniary basis or earning more on a utility basis?

Pecuniary basis - IBanker

Utility - Depends. An accountant could easily earn more intrinsic economic utility vastly outweighing the pecuniary + econ. utility of a banker if the individual enjoyed the work/work-life balance of it enough. The reciprical holds true.

 

You need 150 credits to take the CIB exam. Not worth the extra year if you ask me.
