Just can't see a case (graduate studies aside) where a BA will outweigh a Bcomm. They're highly equal in many regards, but in the few cases where it does matter, a Bcomm will serve you better.

That's definitely where my mindset has been, and is why I chose management in the first place. I figured I'd stay in the private sector until 40-45ish, and then move into public service. I've had a good/great 15 years in business, but it's clearly time to move on.....about 10 years earlier than expected.
My mother (of all people) asked me the lame "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" question. The answer was "Dunno....Not-for-profit, or Foreign Affairs, perhaps a policy shop like the CD Howe Institute or chasing a law degree". Business wasn't even on the radar....a bit surprisingly!
