This is what I've found as well. An undergrad in finance from anywhere but an elite school means you're going to be selling insurance after you graduate. It's much better to get a degree in accounting if you want to get into finance.
I agree accounting is better. I see employers asking for accounting degrees or tons of accounting credits to apply for some gov't jobs. Still, finance is better than BSBA.
