I would agree with your father and recommend virtually any specialized degree over the General Management major, unless you are dedicated to maximum testing out -- that can be harder to do with a concentration. Yes, there are a lot of business majors (though not compared to the number of people who didn't finish college, never started, or dropped out of high school), and people often do end up in a field different from their major. General Management can a fine major for people with experience who don't plan to get a MBA, but for someone starting out, standing out a bit is a good strategy. Shows you're willing to work hard, focus, and learn some quantitative (in the case of Finance/Accounting) skills.
Ideafx is also correct in that the decision doesn't justify a federal case; at the undergrad level, even a specialized concentration is still pretty general.
