    I read that the amount of people entering accounting and getting accounting degrees are going up but the number of CPA is at a stand still, the 150 credit hours and the fact the test was so hard before is part of the problem. I also read that the average CPA is like 45-55 years old and as many as possibly half of all CPAs will retire in the next 10 years. The number of people going into accounting dropped tremendously during the dot com boom and bust apparently and the SOX act has caused the demand to spike way higher than supply.

    With all that said why are accountants so over worked and underpaid then? If there is such a high demand for them it seems like CPAs should be making a lot of money and be able to work the amount of hours they want.

    Nvidia was an interesting company choice for your example. Are you a pc gamer by any chance?

    I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

    "Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"
