I was doing  BBA in finance 3-4 yrs ago and realized tuff competition in finance; I switched to Accounting with minor in finance, just one year before graduation, I got multiple offers from big 4 and mid size  firms and they were willing to do H1B. My friends who graduated with computer degree, still hanging with Dhotis with H1 b but w/o work. Not to disrespect IT field, some have done wounderfully well too, I'd say at this time, it is very good to get an accting degreee. As long as one is motivated and willing to study for 2-3 months, CPA is not that hard as well. If one is lucky to get into Big 4, like so many of us, the career after 3-4 years of hard work is fantastic. Just prepared to be miserable while working for Big 4 though.


Good luck!
