<p>I think this requirement varies a lot by state (for example, in Michigan you currently don’t need 150 hours to sit for the exam) and the requirements change all the time (or so it seems). My D has her CPA and she “only” has a bachelor’s degree, but as I recall the rules for her state changed the year that she passed her exams. D says that about half of the CPAs at her workplace have their master’s, and it doesn’t matter whether you have a bachelor’s or a master’s, the pay is exactly the same. All that matters is passing the CPA exam.</p>
