I am near the end of my first college year in accounting. And lately I've really have been thinking of what I want to do with my degree when I graduate-I have a pretty good idea,but nothing is for certain. What can I expect after I get my AS in Accounting-Without getting my CPA right away?

An AS degree won't get you much. You need a bachelors and then your CPA.

A lot of rejection and then finally after months of searching a Book Keeping job for an organization that doesn't want to pay the high dollar for a full blown CPA with a batchlors degree.
Do yourself a favor. Start planning now to finish out your Bachlors Degree. Either at night while you work as a book keeper durring the day or just continue your schooling full time if you can afford it.
Best of Luck

Don't expect too much. These days, an associated degree is like having a high school diploma, a BS is an AS and so forth. To really get good money you gotta aim for the masters and beyond.

Don't settle for an Associates degree. Keep going, while you still have the momentum and earn a Bachelors degree. It will increase your earning potential substantially.

I had work experience and finished my AS. Strong companies that I was looking at would not entertain my resume without the BS. Keep going and get it done!

Hard work will begin right-away - get your BS degree don't stop at your AS. Stay in school you won't regret it.

Go on and finish a BA. You'll get more respect and more money for doing so!

Stay in school. Get your B.S. and then go from there.
