Accounting is far from Saturated, there is a major shortage. I’m getting back into accounting after 3 years off and will be making between 85-110 base plus whatever bonus. Leaving college I started at 57 and steadily move up from there, after 3 years I was 80k.

There’s different paths you can take in accounting but if you go the CPA route (150 credits) and go into public accounting you’ll start at a minimum of 55 in lcol cities
