Value of Accounting outside of Financial Accounting? (considering to drop double major)

This semester I'll be finishing up my financial reporting and analysis classes.

I am also taking a cost accounting class and will need to take an audit class in the future among some computer classes. But honestly, I'd rather just finish up financial accounting and not worry about these other classes.

Could anybody speak to the utility of cost and managerial accounting for Investment Banking or any high finance gig?
