PLEASE tell me that you guys aren't accepting jobs for 30K with a CPA degree. Heck, please tell me you aren't accepting 40K with a CPA degree. Those numbers are AP clerks/book keeper numbers and if you have a CPA degree its the last thing you should be doing.

OnWayCPA, the salaries depend on the region. Besides, many people get raises after 1 or 2 years. $40,000 is not that bad if you ask me.

I think the minimum acceptable salary should be $40,000 and thats only if you are working for a governmental organization that has insane benefits and incredible room to grow with good yearly raises.

Infact, in my job search that was the only time I ever saw those kind of salaries and none of them had a CPA requirement nor did you ever need to get a CPA. The one that did have an eventual CPA requirement had incredible growth and a great pay scale raises.

My point is, don't sell yourself short for a incredibly low paying job when you have a CPA degree.

I will be asking for much more than 40k with 20 years of experience and a CPA certificate.

LOL thank God someone seems my point. But I meant the minimum acceptable with no experience (out of college).
