[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a very transportable degree - every major company needs a CFO, who gets paid a sh#t-ton of money. You can use the degree to get into Wall Street. You can pivot into sales. MBB consulting. Go to law school after getting a CPA and you'll be very well paid.

Or you can just do boring audit/tax/compliance, but there's limited upside to that career.

In short, it's a degree that allows for very flexible outcomes. But your kid should really commit to getting the CPA.

Definitely have your kid take a community college course while in HS. Unfortunately, it will be a slog and more than likely turn him off from the career. [/quote]

+ 1 . Definitely can lead to so many different paths after a few years experience. I’m not in the business field, but my daughter is an accounting major.  I’ve heard it’s usually a good market for accountants as they’re always needed so getting that first job is not so difficult. After a few years (of hard work I hear), you can branch out into so many different areas. [/quote]
