<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I find that most accounting firms do not require you to be a master. </p>
<p>so I am worried if I would get over-qualified to get an entry-level job as an accountant(I don't have work-experiences)</p>
<p>You need it to become a CPA in most states so yes.</p>
<p>I think that you need 150 credit hours. I believe that you usually cannot complete this number of credit hours until you continue a year after graduation. This means that many more will get a masters degree, or will meet the requirement by continuing their education in another field. I don't think that you need a master's, but you need the 150 credit hours (not sure how they are dispersed in terms of required classes, but ask at school). There are some 4 year college which don't have a master's program, and they have figured out how you can get the 150 credit hours within 4 years. I know of one, and if you are interested, send a PM to me.</p>
<p>Yes get that Masters. You need it for the CPA. I am getting old and dang it i need someone to fill my shoes. The work is constant non stop. The worse the economy gets the more businesses need CPA's. The tax business is non stop. New law every year. Unless they lower taxes to zero there will always be work to do. Get the masters there is plenty of work for CPA's.</p>
