Due to the increased violence in schools in my area, I have decided not to sit for the exam and start teaching. Accounting is something I'm interested in and has high job availability in my area. I've decided to finish this term out and move on to BA in accounting.
With this added information, I would apply for the BA in Accounting. You will first need to graduate so there will be a break between degrees. Your BLS will need to be conferred before you can start the BA. I would apply now for it since conferring degrees has been taking 6+ weeks. You will need to apply on the UMPI website for the BA in Accounting. You will not have to complete the GEC again. You'll just have to complete the major requirements of the BA. Your electives are also completed. You have to complete a minimum of new 30 credits at UMPI for the BA - nothing from the BLS will count in that 30 credits. Let me know if you have any questions. I did the BLS then my BABA at UMPI.
ETA: A minor in accounting most likely will not lead to employment because you'll be competing against people who have degrees in accounting.
