Answer 1 :
It can. Depends of how good you are. Very good grades in college can place you up to about $50,000 or so in NY. It really depends where you work. Also earning a CPA after you graduate helps as well. Other great careers out of school would be engineering (electrical and mechanical pay very well) and in the medical field (i.e. Nursing, Physician's Assistant, ect. )
Answer 2 :
When you choose what you want to do for the rest of your life try not in the first instance to base your decision on 'good money' Yes, money is important and a fully qualified accountant earns an excellent amount of money but you will if you spend all that time gaining the qualifications have to want to like what you are doing and want to be doing it for the rest of your life.
Answer 3 :
you start at entry level pay - just like any career field With a 4 yr Accounting degree, Accounting does pay at least average if not above average amongst all career fields and job security and advancement opportunities, and earnings potential are probably all above average
Answer 4 :
From someone who needed to use an accountant service for my business, I think it is a great way of making money. You only need a brain. You only sell your services, no product or materials. The only thing to watch is never to over charge your clients because they will soon desert your firm if you do. Most clients of accountants regard them as a necessary evil.
Answer 5 :
You'd have to try hard not to be able to earn a good living -but is it something you are genuinely enthusiastic about?

Answer 2 :
business link is the best place to start, their website is excellent and you can also speak to an adviser in person if you wish, they can advise you on the laws affecting your business http://www.businesslink.gov.uk (also ask them for a copy of the cobweb guide to the business you are in - you can search for it here http://www.scavenger.net/home.php?cat=109 but business link can give you a copy for free, the guides really are excellent and tell you about the law in that area as well as how to market/promote your type of business) make sure you order a copy of this free business start-up kit, it's produced by the government/business link and covers issues of red tape and more http://www.newbusiness-newlife.com/newbusiness/main/starterpackpage.asp then consider some business mentoring - it's a really useful thing to have someone who's business minded to bounce your new ideas off. try http://www.nfea.com/index.htm?page=find_lea.htm to find a scheme in your area by all means speak to business banking managers for advice, or try this site from Barclays http://www.clearlybusiness.com/advice-and-support/ if after all that you still think you need to pay for professional advice, consider the lawyers for your business scheme for a solicitor http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/choosingandusing/helpyourbusiness/foryourbusiness.law or find an accountant with a good reputation who has lots of experience of dealing with small businesses. hope all goes well with your business ideas x
