• Answer:

  There are all the answers you need on http://www.certifiedpublicaccountants.com/ including certified public accountant requirements, tests, license etc. Ultimately, it all comes down to how good you really are, and no one can promise you a huge salary just because you've spent time there. It's all up to you, your talent, and the amount of hard work you are ready to invest into yourself and your job.
