  1. Does salary factor in cost of living because 89,000 for New York is just making it living by yourself in a studio apartment plus overhead. While In Houston it has a LCOL and 60,000 can get you pretty far…

    1. Depends where in NY. Only a tiny spot of the state is very expensive while the vast majority of the state is pretty affordable.

    2. @29 Lets Go You’re right, but in this instance it not close to Houston for what Houston has per cost of living…

  2. Thanks so much for your helpful videos. I talked to a tech recruiter recently and he said he has seen a lot of demand for people with accounting or finance backgrounds that can help implement ERP systems. He said people can make 70-80,000 starting out with that combo. Then they can make about 150,000 with a few years of experience. He said that he doesn’t see normal accountants doing that.

  3. I have a B.S. in accounting I never used. I couldn’t answer the CPA exam questions so I decided it wasn’t for me. The pay is way to low without that CPA designation. Don’t waste your time pursuing this career, there is no money in it. You would be better off in law enforcement or management.

    1. Most CPA’s I know are paid BANK. And starting salaries for Public is pretty good. I dont know what you are talking about.

    1. I would say yes. If you learn the fundamentals of journal entries and are taught how to use software like excel and QuickBooks then you can easily take a bookkeeping job which will pay you a living wage. This also opens the opportunity to transfer and finish your final two years in any business related degree you want or any non business degree but it would probably take an extra semester or two.

  4. Accounting Degrees can lead you to just about anything except maybe MIS or something. I’m my opinion Accounting, MIS, and Supply Chain are all in high demand. Not to mention Accounting you can pull all kinds of side gigs of you gave time.
