need ideas for a bachelors degree

General office and office management work are the bulk of the job openings in my area. They're asking for business admin degrees, and others say they want accounting/finance related degrees. A few are asking for supply chain management. Some are jobs at accounting firms, banks, and big warehouses/factories, the rest are just offices or retail businesses that need managers.

There's not many IT job listings here, and the few I have seen have really extreme demands for knowledge of proprietary software, certs, and years of experience. I need something entry level, no experience. I think it would be hard to get into IT in my area and at my age.

So I was originally looking at the UMPI business admin w/ accounting concentration, but I think the actual accounting degree might be better since it still has almost all of the exact same business classes in it, you just lose a biz ethics and an MIS class, but you gain a lot more actual accounting classes.

I'm looking for a high paying job that I can get into quickly with only the degree (no experience, no certs, etc.) and if I hate it there, I want to have the flexibility to just pick up and move to a whole different company or industry entirely and easily start over.

I have never been very good at math so I like the option of being able to switch into a general biz & management degree if i need to.

The math shouldn’t really be an issue since you can transfer those credits in.

If you ever decide you want to get into IT in the future, you could earn some certifications to gain experience. You don’t necessarily need another degree in IT or computer science.
