<p>Those who end up as CPA also usually have graduate degrees because they need 150 credits in order to sit for the CPA exam. For this reason, my daughter is working on her MBA. But if she didn’t get a grad assistantship (which is helping to pay for this MBA), she’d be at county college earning the extra credits needed for the exam. </p>
<p>My daughter who is a nurse will not get a gradaute degree as it’s not needed unless you want to go into management (which she will never do). </p>
<p>I am personally dismayed by this credential creep. It’s so unnecessary. </p>
