I'm majoring in management concentrating in accounting. I'm interested in going further and maybe becoming a CPA. My mom says I should do something in the medical field since it is always in high demand. I'm planning on going for a second bachelors in nursing after I complete my degree. I know to be a CPA, you have to sit for an exam and you also have to sit for an exam to be a nurse. How should I plan my studies?

I have a bachelors degree in marketing and have mostly a sales background as far as work experience, because that seems to be the only job I can get. I would like to know what experience I need to get into advertising, because having a sales background and just a marketing degree doesn't seem enough.

That sucks when people get jobs working in accounting departments and have never taken a single class in accounting. I asked some of them how did they get hired, they told me they knew someone. They get trained on the software and end up with a decent paying job. While those of us who studied hours getting an accounting degree don't get hired.

Serious question, what job is high pay and would potentially get you to £100 million or more over a period of around 20 years or shorter even. I was thinking Investment Banker, but do they even make that much? You'd have to be like the managing director or something, and please don't say singer or something along those lines nor something like create a social networking site. And please note, I mean this as in savings. So please take into account that I need to eat, pay bills and whatever else. [But not anything on the house as it's fully owned by us.] -If anyone is wondering, one of my dreams is to build a hotel hence the insane amount of money needed.

I'm in my first semester at a community college right now, just getting general studies. I HATE living at home though, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to just get an associates degree in something and move to Chicago. Would there be ANY good jobs available? Or is it all for Bachelor degrees and up. I'm not interested in health care, but I'm looking into business/management.

For instance - You work for a small business as a salesman and.. You have no IT department, but you maintain the computers and networks. or You fix any mechanical problems with tools or equipment etc. But it's nowhere in your job description, but yet you're the "go to" person for these issues.
