Accounting is more useful than finance.

/did both

I slot accounting under finance. but yes. the reason those two B.S.s are useful is that there is ALWAYS work for book keepers and coders. any city, any time. Might not always be good work, but you'll always be in demand.

I'm a programmer writing accounting software... not always exciting work but there's no shortage of work to be done.

handling software for accountants is probably the holy grail of "can't be fired".

Unfortunately you can graduate with a degree in finance and not know shit about accounting.
