You have to finish an accountancy degree and qualify for the licensure exam in your state and pass the exam.
The salary is pretty much competitive.
Getting a CPA license shouldn’t be so difficult if you prepare your heart for it. Preparation should start by the time you enroll as freshman in college. Many exam questions need you to draw from stock knowledge. And do all your homework. The more practice (solving problems) the better for you to internalize the principles.
And the MBA. It should come later when you have some work experience already. Professional value is enhanced by experience. MBA will enrich what you already have.
Hope this helps.
after you get your bachelors degree you will take a licensing exam. you need to look at your college website and see what the requirements are. you can also talk to your college adviser.
Requirements vary from state to state. Check out this site, you can click on different states and see the differences.

An MBA is a master’s degree in the field of Business Administration (that’s the "BA" part of "MBA"). If you major in accounting, you’ll probably get an MS in Accounting. They’re two different degrees. You could work on either or possibly both, if you’re ambitious enough to go for a dual master’s.
Becoming a CPA is not the same thing as getting your master’s degree. To become a CPA, you need to pass the CPA exam. A master’s degree is not required to take the exam.
