Accounting ranges greatly in the type of work you will do. There are huge variances in the work between Audit, AR/AP/Bookkeeping, Tax, Consulting etc. As others have noted, you will have to earn your stripes. In general, the Big 4 will be able to give you the best exposure to everything and you will be amongst peers chasing your designation, but I like others am still not sure how the whole CPA shift will look like yet.
IMO, I would suggest deciding between Accounting and Finance only. Supply chain, HR and marketing arguably aren't as easily transferable to another career. I also believe they are some of the first to go when the economy is poor.
