Degree
Accounting has always
been a stable occupation. Government analysts expect the profession
to grow faster than the average over the next ten years. The reason
is an increase in the number of new businesses, constant changes
in tax laws, and increased scrutiny of business accounts in the
wake of many scandals. Median salaries are currently about $50,700.

There
are four major fields of accounting: public, management, and government
accounting and internal auditing. Management accountants work on
budgets and cost management for their companies. Government accountants
work in the public sector, often for the Internal Revenue Service.
Internal auditors check financial books for accuracy, fraud, and
waste. Public accountants are often consultants for companies, individuals
or nonprofit agencies. They offer advice on tax matters, asset management
and even subjects like employee health care expenses.
To become a Certified
Public Accountant, you must pass examinations and meet certain educational
requirements that may vary by state.
