Accounting vs Business Admin

[dfrecore]

I think you're wrong in a BSBA being useless in the market. And the concentration is not as important as you might think. But, if you want to do the Accounting concentration, by all means do so. I don't think it will make you any extra or less money, except if you actually wanted to go into Accounting, in which case you're much better off getting any business degree, and then an MS in accounting. Accounting jobs with a BS and no experience are not entry level, but they are barely mid-level jobs. If you want to actually make some money, then an MS in accounting or a CPA is the way you want to go. Because of your age, and the cost of the WGU MS in Accounting degree, I think that might be your fastest and cheapest option.
