Online Accounting vs Information Technology degree

I already know I'm going to get troll answers and downvotes. But before we begin:
1. I'm currently working at a good company. I just want to expand my potential for different positions and I feel that business sector would be a good fit.
2. I have severely toned down the job related threads. I would appreciate serious opinions.
3. I know that getting the Accounting degree will ultimately require a CPA to be taken seriously. IT has that technology aspect I'm accustomed to, but I'm concerned about the level of foreign competition.
4. Any school suggestions are appreciated? I'm considering Arizona State University.

Georgia Tech Masters in Analytics with the specialization in business analytics. Cheap, 100% online, and where jobs are moving.

UCONN and UAB both have online Accounting programs
ETA: My wife finished up her degree online with ASU. Format was user friendly, books were cheap/free because they were just PDF's, and the diploma looks like any other ASU diploma. It wasn't cheap though

Sally Struthers says this is the way to go.

Either discipline is fairly future proof, until AI takes all of our jobs. However, I don’t think there are many people who would find enjoyment in both. There are similarities, but I believe they require different mindsets overall. Which one drives you? That’s the one to go with.

I thought you were at Southern Law?

IT, focus on development. Pick a stack and stick with it. Analytics or Data Modeling is always a big money maker as well and we can’t ever find enough good ones.

Dude you don’t need more degrees. Stop getting degrees. If you want to move up in your career, do better work

I will be making a call to my alma mater today to give them a heads-up on this possibility. We can't just let anyone in. Sorry, Volod...I hope you can understand.
