Should I keep my major as Medical Lab Science or switch to Accounting?

I know my question sounds weird, but I am totally feeling lost right now. I recently got accepted into the Medical Lab Science (the people who test your blood and urine) at my school. I don’t know why but I feel I am not belong there. The knowledge is very new and the program is heavy (I got really bad grades that I never get before) but the most important thing is the scariness of using needle to get blood. I used to thing that I will overcome that and after graduation, I may go to industry to be a food scientist or cosmetologists. But I doubt that since the orientation day, professors always talk about patients and hospitals. I asked them and know that the jobs for MLS in industry are really hard to find. I really do not see myself work in a hospital or clinics after volunteer there many times. I ask my advisor and career service at my school, but all they do is sending me all over the place to find my answer myself or show my how to use the career website to find jobs (which I searched many times before I came to see them, I thought that only accountancy advisor did help me when answer exactly my questions). I love labs but not in the hospital. I used to think that I after graduation I may try to apply for Pharmacy school, but realize it may not for me since till now I haven’t getting anything ready for that except doing the requirement courses, and I doubt I really love it, after starting with MLS).
I don’t mention the salary here because I don’t want a high pay job, just about $30-35,000 after graduation is fine, maybe even lower just to get experience. I just want to switch to Accounting because I like in the office and numbers. I don’t mind if it is boring because I am a bored person, too. I like math and did quite okay in the calculus I and II (I did not have chance to take high math to see how I do because I change my major bioengineering into pre- MLS). But I really need to think more about that because this will be my last chance ( I am in junior year as a senior standing, with 3.8 GPA, and done with minor in Chemistry).
Anyone who major in Accountant, may you give me an idea of exactly accountant going to do in the real life? Does the courses work extremely hard? And will the job findings be extremely competitive (my college is just a small university in town)?
I totally lost now and really need your help, any advice is appreciate, even if you just yell at me for my dumb mind is okay.
Thank you so much for taking time and reading my post.
Have a nice day.
