Best Answer

(This answer applies to the United States) A Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting should be sufficient to get a generic job as an "accountant", for example in the accounting department of a public or private corporation or business, or to become a bookkeeper (for which an Associate Degree should be entirely sufficient). If you want to be a Certified Public Accountant and join a CPA firm, or start your own practice, you must pass the CPA Exam. A Bachelor's Degree is ordinarily required before you can take the exam. An MBA may also help you advance your career. Most, if not all, US states have requirements for licensing to practice public accounting. There should be a division of licensing in your state that can provide more information. Be sure to visit a CPA firm to see what the job and people are like before you decide on a career. (Good advice for all jobs.)
