So I'm pretty much waiting on my academic evaluation update, as I have all 120 credits completed for a BSBA in General Management. My question is... Having all this complete would it be absolutely crazy to switch my major? I'm considering a BSBA in Finance instead... Mainly because I'm more interested in Finance vs. General Management as a future career path. At the same time, it would mean more work, more tests, more blah. What would you do if you had the option?

How about a double concentration? The only rub being that you can't reuse more than 9 credits in the AOS in both concentrations. Have you figured out how many courses you're talking about?
The Secret to Earning a Second Degree
The other thought is that you might rather put that effort into a masters degree instead.

The Finance concentration is much harder to find courses for. I only know of 4 courses that will apply towards it, so you would have to find/take 2 additional courses, unless you already had them:
Security Analysis & Portfolio Management (TECEP)
Financial Institutions & Markets (TECEP) or Money & Banking (DSST)
Corporate Finance (PF)
Analyzing Financial Statements (CSU-Global)
The good news is these are all UL, so you'd only have to find 2 LL courses.
I agree with davewill though, if you don't already have those 2 courses and they're going to cost you more than $1000 each, then you're looking at another $3000 for these courses. At that point, you would be better off with an MBA at WGU or Patten or ENMU or whatever else you can find.

If it was me, I would put my $ in a Patten MBA for the same cost.
You can use that $3000 towards the entire degree for a Patten MBA Finance.
