Description
150 credit hours (more than a bachelor’s), four-part CPA exam with pass rates around 50%, and the specific career paths from public accounting (Big Four grind) to corporate, government, and forensic specializations. Starting salaries $55k–$65k, experienced CPAs $80k–$150k+. Tax season is exactly as miserable as depicted. Job security is exactly as strong.
