What is a better degree to have Business or Accounting?

How is a degree in business administration different from a degree in accounting?

• What's the difference and which is better? If I have a bachelor's degree in business administration, is it better than a bachelor's degree in accounting? Also, if I have a bachelor's degree in business administration, what jobs am I open up to, and will it help me score a job as an accountant? If I have a degree in accounting only, what options for jobs do I have other than an accountant?

• Answer:

  A degree in business gives you many more opportunities than one in accounting. However, if you want to be an accountant, majoring in accounting is best, though you can also become an accountant if you take enough accounting classes as part of your business degree. As an accountant, you might work your way up to comptroller or treasurer.
