Mechanical Engineering or Accounting

At first when thinking about it, I thought accounting would be the obvious choice. Its a relatively unpopular career path that pays well if you commit to it and get your masters. However my dad says accounting has been looking a bit unstable and unreliable for multiple reasons, so I've been thinking about majoring in mechE instead, as that degree is extremely high valued, but I'm still flip flopping because I feel like I would enjoy accounting more personally. So I wanted to ask how others feel about it and whether I should just stop second guessing.
