BS in accounting or accounting certificate from 2-yr college?

I already have a bachelors in sociology but now want to pursue a career as a CPA. I’ve already started taking some classes at a 2-yr college as part of their “Professional Accountant Program” which would allow me to sit for the CPA exam upon completion.

When it comes time for me to find a job (before and after the CPA exam) Would I be better off completing this certificate program at a 2-yr college or transferring and getting a BS in accounting? I think much of the coursework would be the same except the final result: Certificate in Accounting vs. BS in accounting.

BS in accounting would be a good start. Out here in the Bay Area you would probably need to be working on yours Masters also. Not sure how much weight that Accountant Program carries but being a certified CPA is probably enough if your not in a big city.
