take bookkeeping in high school if it is offered. take accounting in high school if offered. If not, and someone has a course in "Quicken" or "Quickbooks," take that.
Learn everything you can about Excel spreadsheets and the Access Database program in Microsoft Office.
the best of the best -- get so proficient at Access that you can go to the underlying coding (the "SQL Programming" = sequential query language) anbd edit SQL yourself.
Being a competent accountant in the 21st century = being computer literate. Believe it.
In college, you need 1st year accounting, 2nd year accounting (called "intermediate accounting" also the "meat grinder" or "bear" that separates the accountants from the lazy students), the cost accounting, advanced accounting (= the stuff that used to be in intermediate accounting but got booted upstairs because there is so much to cover in intermediate classes!), tax accounting, business law and other business courses. To SIT on the CPA examination in most states, you need a 5 year bachelor's degree, now. Go ahead and get a program that gives you a master's degree.
SIT on the CPA examination immediately upon finishing college. Sign up for the "Becker CPA Review" a month later (you'll get your money back for the sections of the exam you passed). the CPA exam is famous for being picky and sneaky and tricky --trust Becker and only Becker to get you through this minefield.
get a job with the biggest CPA firm that will hire you and stay there until you are a manager. No matter how unhappy you are.
Now you're a professional in a respected, well-paying career.

You should probably get a BS or BBA in Accounting and an MS in Accounting. Then sit for the CPA exam.
To be a high-level (well paid) accountant you'll need the masters degree and the CPA.
