<p>Hi,
I've considered getting a bachelor's degree in business admin with emphasis in accounting and then become a cpa. I'm now having doubts because some ppl say it's boring, the test is hard to pass, very low salary and not enough personal/vacation time but instead long work hours and no benefits. is any of this true? can anyone who followed this path or know someone who has give feedback on this matter? if you are a cpa, how did your first years go and now too? satisfied?</p>
<p>hi i'm going the same route as u, accounting major n trying to get a CPA.
but i'm just going to be a freshmen next year so i cant answer your questions..
u might want to try the business major board btw</p>
<p>well my dad did the same thing in college, and became a cpa. there are so many opportunities for someone with a business degree. he went on to work on wall street and then was a CFO and treasurer for a large company. now because of all his business know how he opened his own company. i wouldnt worry about not having opportunites in the future but i would reconcider if you are bored with numbers or accounting.</p>
