The time is left behind when every other child used to have a dream of becoming either doctor or engineer. No one used to think apart from it. It seemed liked only two degrees exist in the world. But now it's 21 century, a century known for its ever changing technology , known for its fabulous inventions and advancement in each and every field weather its math or psychology. People are now moving toward different fields. People who have logical minds most probably accounting related courses .

Before getting enrolled in any degree or diploma course one should do little self analysis to identify weather you are stepping foot in the right path or not.

To enroll in CPA or to get this certification you should keep the following points in your mind.

1. Identify weather you are a true math person or not, do you really like accounting and want to have it as a career.
2. Ensure that you really know what CPA is and after knowing the complexity and the courses you would be offered, you still want to opt for it.
3. Do you really think that you have high moral values and understand business ethics .because if you don't you will be in great trouble as a CPA professional is answerable to government as well as auditing agencies?
4. Once decided that you surely are a CPA person, than first of all enroll in bachelors of accounting to meet the requirements for doing CPA provided by Board of Accountancy.
5. The annual starting salary of a CPA professional is not that attractive but with the of time, it increases at an incredible rate .For instance the starting pay for a fresh CPA professional is $36,000 approximately .In some companies the annual starting salary could be around $44,375.
6. Once the degree is completed then you have to undergo an examination conducted by the board to see if you have really become a certified accountant or not. The exam is designed to test your knowledge of accounting principles, accounting Laws and accounting and tax laws and regulation as well as your moral and ethical behavior. The latter is really important to pass to get the CPA license as CPAs are like doctors or psychiatrists who know each and every truth of the company and have many opportunities to commit a fraud and form a scandal.
