I have a bachelor's degree in Mathematics. It's not worth the paper its printed on since my degree offered no job orientated skills beyond "I can write papers and do hard logic."
I'm going back for a degree in Accounting, but my school has insane requirements for the College of Business and, due to poor student advisers in the Mathematics department and sickness, I'm having to play severe catch up. Not to mention finding internships or real jobs to pay for it feels near impossible.

All colleges have different opinions of the AP system. Some schools accept anyone who schools above a 3 (out of 5) and gives them credit for the course. Some don't give any credit based upon them and others give partial credit or make you take their placement exams and give you credit only if you do well. Also not all highschools run their AP courses the same way.
Don't do AP. Do concurrent enrollment. High Schools can accept college courses as credit (though not always with Honors credit bonuses). This way you won't have any problems having your credit given. From my experiences, AP courses given you more workload than is reasonable and you learn less than an actual college course. In my third year of high school, I just went to high school from 7:30-10:30 and took a couple night classes at college (a good college, not a 2 year community one).
