I'll chime in that a degree in accounting or finance can get you far.. Most here will mention engineering/medical/programming. They also will likely bemoan the finance and accounting folks they work with as useless.

I'll agree that due to many burrecratic choices c-suite leadership make there are a ton of inefficiencies but there is always a ton of work to be done and the skills can transfer to quite a bit of companies.. Even very large corporations just end up having horribly inefficient processes and constant churn in leadership switches it up a lot.. So if your someone who knows accounting and finance well and can think learn to bridge the never ending gap in tools and people requesting data you can do well.
