My wife has a finance degree and she started out entry level in salary. She has now worked her way up as the company grew and is a manager but simply having a bachelors in finance doesn't mean you are going to get paid a good salary immediately. Being a CPA requires more than just a bachelors degree and if you want to do accounting you probably need a CPA.

I guess I am saying you never know whats going to happen but a bachelors in accounting versus finance might not be any different in starting salary but a bachelors in accounting with 30 extra accounting credits will let you sit for the CPA exam if I am not mistaken. CPA is a profession in and of itself where finance is a major.
