Hello
There is no comparison between them as both serve a different purpose. Whatever suits your skill set, if you have discovered it you wouldn't ask such a question. But do what suits you best.
BBA teaches you management for becoming an entrepreneur or trading stuff, marketing, selling stuff, accountant etc.
