Estimating the starting salary for an Accountant using the BLS.

<p>For my geographic area the lowest 10 percentile of accountants make less than $32,000. </p>

<p>1) If it is assumed new grads are of highest concentration in that group, is it unlikely that I will make more in my area?</p>

<p>2) Is there a big difference starting out if I were to get a job at a public accounting firm (and specialize in tax) vs obtaining a management accounting job? (Please answer IN GENERAL)</p>
