I was in an Undergrad business program and specialized in Accounting for 3 years and then jumped ship in 4th year and took all finance courses. I had good reasons to be in accounting at first, the Big4 hired our graduates in abundance but not many of the major finance firms were lining up at our door step.
In the end, my choice was simple, I went with the discipline I loved. Accounting was the bane of my existence, and I couldnt stand the thought of audit.
And while I still don’t have my dream job and chances of success arent great, I would prefer to chase the dream rather than be in relatively well paying job that ate away ate my soul every day. I knew very well that the finance industry was contacting, but that didn’t hold me back.
But I would agree with Greenman72, for MOST graduates, accounting would be the better option
