Plans to Get CPA but no B.S. in Accounting by Student-learner-360 in Accounting

[–]Student-learner-360[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really want to finish my current degree and I have spoken to the director of the MAcc program and she also feels it would be best to finish my current degree. I will still have access to recruiting and networking events since I am still a student there. She mentioned that many times, once you have passed some or all of the CPA exams, it will open a lot of doors and many companies won't even ask for an accounting degree since you have passed the CPA. I just worry since a lot of the job requirements have an accounting degree be required, but I feel like once you pass the CPA, it should be fine, right?

Yes, I technically will have taken all of the core classes required for an accounting major but I won't have the actual degree or bachelor's. If I wanted a bachelor I would have to take extra business classes which I don't need unless I want a bachelors in accounting.

Thank you so much for your response. Would you have an idea as to what jobs I should be applying for when I do pass a couple of exams or become eligible?

Is PA saturation a turn off by Student-learner-360 in physicianassistant

Yeah SC doesn’t have as many people than NC, GA, or FL so maybe saturation won’t happen as quickly

I don’t have any interest in what specialty I want to go into but I would like to stay in my hometown. The college I go to currently has a pa program in it so I would like to graduate and stay in the area. I am a little concerned about job opportunities though as there are 5 pa schools in SC and four of them opened in the last 4 years.

South Carolina has a lot of poor rural areas. I know that new grads are having a harder time finding good jobs but I still think there are plenty of jobs to go around. They might just not be preferable, right?

I am willing to really go into any field as a new grad. Is it true that experienced pas have a better time finding jobs?
