Re: A little advice for an undergrad???
In more and more states, sitting for the CPA requires 5 years of schooling. It also requires a substantial courseload in accounting. Work experience won't substitute and allow you to sit for the exam. I passed 7 years ago, and Illinois' 5 year requirement went into effect shortly after I passed. Not sure about WA.
I second that a CPA is more valuable than a CFA over the long haul, but you've really got to know quite a bit about tax and audit to pass the CPA exam.
