Accounting is a field that has many different routes that you can take. For example, you will need to be in school any place from eighteen months to four years depending on the type of degree you would like and what goals you have for after you graduate. Work with your counselor to determine a path.
Many accounting schools offer scholarship programs that can help you to obtain your education at less of a cost to you. If you need a scholarship find out if the school provides them, if local businesses will sponsor you or if there are national scholarship programs that will work for you.
