Finance or accounting degree?

[CollegeStudent7]

I work at a staffing agency and, simply put, they love to see Accounting degrees. More people apply that have Finance degrees and there is nothing wrong with that, but a Finance degree only requires a few Accounting classes as where Accounting is a bit more specialized. My staffing agency personally says that Accountants are always in demand. I have noticed the jobs that our agency offers pay more than some of the Finance based positions.
