I agree with you that Accounting is a lucrative profession and a smart college choice! I do want to offer some comments for the readership, however.

There are probably numerous "accounting" programs out there that will NOT lead you to the attainment of the CPA licensure which is the credential that provides the highest pay and return on accounting education investment.

There are numerous associate's degree programs in accounting that will enable someone -with the ability- to obtain an entry level position in a financial-type job with accounting like duties, which is a great start to a career.

However; people without the requisite basic skills - the kinds you are supposed to learn in Kindergarten through 12th grade - will not be able to sign up for some classes with the name "accounting" in them and suddenly become a well-paid accountant.

Accounting is a profession that requires a good deal of skill and learning accounting requires that students be able to read, think critically and problem-solve, and apply basic mathematical and/or accounting principles to problems.

Students considering taking out loans to attend any accounting program should make certain that they are strong enough in the basic areas before spending any money and listening to any promises of a lucrative career. If they believe that they are ready for this, my recommendation is then that they go to their local community college and apply for admission (free at most community colleges) and be tested (also free) for their ability to perform college level work, so that when they take out those student loans, they are doiong so from a position of knowledge and with the support of educators that know what students need to be successful in various educational programs.

Back to the issue of the CPA license. CPAs are licensed by each state and require an EXAM be taken before a license is granted. This means that if you went to college at a place that didn't require you to take any exams, you are going to be woefully unprepared to get that CPA license after graduation. Also, most of the states requires a Bachelor's Degree to sit for the CPA.

Be smart in 2012 - ask the right questions! Accounting is indeed a terrific profession to enter. Do your homework on where to study and get the best return on your investment of time and money!
