What degree is more benefical for investment banking and trading?

Good day.

I am currently in my second year of a Bcom financial management. I want to persue a career in either investment banking or trading for the banks. I would like to know if i should change to a degree in bcom finance and accounting for my 3rd year currenty we are doing the same modules. The only difference in 3rd year is that F&A has accounting in 3rd year where as Financial Management will have business Management and all other modules between the two will be the same? So based on this which degree would be more favourable.
