My husband is a CPA. There are tons of nitpicky rules he has to follow and 80 hours of continuing education courses are required every two years while he practices so he can keep abreast of every, single nitpicky rule's changes including new nitpicky rules. It's about being precise, accurate, knowing every rule in the book and knowing every way people try to get around the books. Alot to know and alot of work to maintain professional standards and licensing requirements. Good luck! :)

To get to the top of the profession, you might want to go through the CIMA exams (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants). That's about 7 years of studying with some tough exams that you should ensure you pass first time if you want to have the pick of the best employers. Companies looking to employ a CIMA qualified person ask if the person passed their exams first time. The studying doesn't require a lot of scientific ability - but it is hard graft and you've got to really apply yourself. In comparison, a solicitor studying to become a barrister also studies for 7 years.
