What qualification do you need to start up a home based accounting business?

Should I get a degree in Business Administration or Accounting? I am thinking of switching from a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology to something else due to the saturation of the IT market. My research indicates that Accounting is one of THE most available jobs and is also one of the highest paying non technichal degrees, much higher than Business Admin. My ultimate goal is to start my own business, any business. With a degree in accounting I could go on and get my MBA in accounting so that I can take the CPA exam in my state and start my own business. I could also get a Business Admin degree in undergrad and then an MBA in accounting and still qualify to take the CPA exam in my state and hence, still go into business for myself. It is a tough decision to make though. The BA degree looks easier and is very versatile, not to mention very popular at my school. The down side is that most jobs would benefit from a BA degree don't really require one if you have experience. Also, BA majors tend to make about 7 K less. Michelle, I feel ya girl when it comes to the hiring decision and the job going to someone with a degree rather than someone that has none, but I can tell you from MY experience that I have SEVERAL times beat out people with AA, AAS or BA/BS degrees for jobs when I had NO degree at the time. Why? I had the skills they where looking for... Just food for thought. You still make a very valid point though.
