Exactly.

It can be beneficial if you're going a very specific route, but generally it can be a rather risky move. Personally, I'm going to get my Bachelor's in Accounting and then a CPA, so I won't be needing anything further than that.

I can't see where a PhD would be necessary in over half of possible disciplines, but it can be practical.


My cousin had a starting salary of $80k as a CPA and now, 10 years later, makes $150k. It depends totally on the job.

Don't waste your time. *insert PhD joke here* Tongue
