For those who know about accounting careers? I currently have a b.a. in political science, but I am interested in political philosophy only and have no intention of ever working for a politician or political organization. I am thinking about taking courses in accounting at a large, nearby community college. If I do this, I could complete 30 credits in accounting by the end of next summer. Here is my question: would about 30 credits of accounting and my b.a. in political science allow me to get accounting jobs? Or, would employers want me to have a degree in accounting? I was happy to learn that my state only requires a bachelors, 24 credits in accounting, and 2 years work experience before you can take the cpa exam, so I figure 30 should be good, but I just want to get other opinions. Thanks.
