<prompt> Human: Recently earned my associates degree in general studies, transferred to a university and chose business administration as my major without doing much research I just wanted to continue my education.I am noticing a lot of the required courses are accounting classes. I have always been particularly interested in budgeting, finance etc. exactly why I frequent this sub. Im thinking maybe I should switch degree plans before its too late?Anyone out there in the two career fields have any insight? Which career field has the better earning potential?Wish they would have done one over the other? Proscons? I dont want to waste my time with what may end up as a useless degree...TIA  <response>: I think for what its worth, you should get the accounting degree and then go for a CPA. No matter what you end up doing, that CPA pay for itself. A business admin is just generic and everyone has one. Any company would hire a CPA business major vs a generic business major.
