How can anybody go to college, decide on accounting, graduate and move into the accounting profession and ask that dumb ass question. Non-CPAs are called bookkeepers
I'm assuming you're having a hard time passing?
Necessary in profession but no value added
Only useful when explaining to friends and relatives about what you do. Everyone knows the word CPA even if they don't know what it actually means.
It's a near necessity in the industry, but I doubt anyone's going to claim they learned more from studying than they did from working
If you stay in the US: big deal!, internationally: no one cares!
You're asking a pretty biased selection of people. I have my CPA, I got it because my father works as an accountant and doesn't have one and we both see how it has hindered him.
It's as useless as a degree. Apprentice style working/learning is far more effective for learning. We learn so much more the first year of work than all 4 years of school. The only thing a degree is good for is to get a job.
All the above is true of the CPA license as well. If you want the job, you need the degree and the license.
The value people place on where they went to school and what certifications they have is ridiculously silly. I've worked with people from the big name schools that have 100k+ in student loans with a CPA for years and I've worked with people that just went to a local school for college and still working on the CPA. Can't say I'd prefer one over the other based only on that. I care far more about the quality of their work.
Depends on what you're trying to do
You can have a great career without it, but more credentials usually means more money. Generally speaking getting your license will get you preferential treatment no matter public or private. Just depends what route you're trying to go.
Anyone here saying it won't change the facts
I honestly don't feel any smarter after getting that license, but for some reason it means a lot to the employers. So maybe overrated somewhat, but it's what it is
Bar license >>> CPA
I think if I move to financial analysis I don't need it do I
