How can I become an accountant if I already completed my Bachelor's in liberal arts?
Asked by K S
I completed 4 years of college with a B.A. in economics. How can I become an accountant, CPA? Do I have to redo my undergraduate studies in accountancy? Can I do a graduate program? Or is there a certification process? FYI, I live in Illinois. Thanks!

Best Answer:
First be sure that you want to be an accountant. I am real good at math, but I am taking an accounting class now, and I suck at it. It is like a totally different world. If you don't get it, you'll get frustrated and fail. 11 out of 30 of my classmates got an "F" on the first test. Just be sure that is what you want to do before diving into it. Sorry, I know that is a terrible answer.
