Career Builder, January 2013

issue listed Accounting as one of

the 7 valuable associates

degrees. “With an associate

degree in accounting under your

belt, you’ll be prepared for a

number of entry-level

accounting jobs. One such

occupation is an accounts

receivable/payable clerk.

According to CBSalary.com,

earnings start at between

$21,000 and $27,000 ...and

reach nearly $50,000 with

experience. A Bachelor’s

degree can bring a significant

salary bump, and company size,

industry and geographic location

will also affect your income.

With additional education,

experience and certification you

could become a controller or

certified public accountant, with

a salary that could top

$100,000. “

All the right reasons for working

earnestly towards college

completion and great grades.
