oh dude, U WILL BE TESTED in this field as well!

i dont know how fierce the testings are, i guess that depends on the company

BUT here is the difference:

CPA accountants are in nearly 400% shortage for the market and highly in demand!

u will start off at about 60-80k for 1st year without any experience
and within about 5 years u should have gone up into near 6 figure income!
if u do exceptionally well, u may be able to find partners adn start off your own firm very soon

however, due to amount of possible money CPAs can make, they have a great chance @ kickin off their own business (whatever the field, even a mcdonalds!) quite fast with few years of working and saving + good credit and a loan!

and since they know (lets hope they do) the technicalities of economic markets and principles of business... they will be far better business owners than your average owners... plus u save shit load of money doing your own taxes and accounts, every business pays out thousands of dollars for accounting and for auditing on yearly basis!

OR u can stay on the job if u dont have a problem getting tested or if u r willing to quit and make it all the way to an auditor... they make like 300 bucks per hour just taking inventory or just leading the auditing team, supervising other personnel doing the same

regardless i would say:thumbsup: just gotta find a way around smoking and not gettin caught on tests... with that kinda money, u can afford the most expensive anti-test stuff!
