I am planning on attending college and getting a bachelor in accounting, but I am deciding whether I would have a promising future in majoring in Accounting and becoming a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) or not. Some people I have asked say that everyone will always need accountants but I want others opinions as well. Is it a good Idea to major in Accounting? If not what major or career (with an Accounting major) would be good?

You should try and specialize in something in regards to accounting. More and more the profession is becoming commoditized and basic accounting functions are being outsourced to India. I would suggest looking at finance, or working on your career to be a very specific type of accountant.
