It's not about your degrees. It's about how you use them.
Don't focus on money. Best key to success is to ENJOY what you do, not be blinded by the dollar signs.

You could start in the business world in an accounting / comptroller position and work your way up to senior management or even CFO. Starting pay, probably $50K-60K depending upon the location.

I would think you should focus on your own aptitudes and what kind of work would give you satisfaction rather than the amount of money you can make. You want to be happy, don't you?

It depends where you are located.
A CPA or a CFO can do quite well in the USA.
