I agree. Why should you have to go to a 4 year college to become an accountant? We should have a 2 year accounting school instead. You can learn history on your own if you desire.

Because the colleges/universities need you there for at least 4 years for the money. They can't pay for and maintain the huge campus, buildings, sports complexes, sports programs, faculty salaries, beneifts etc. without your 4 years of money. That's why they are so dependent on student loans. Even the one year drop outs who never should have gone are fine with them because they get some money from people who ordinarily wouldn't have gone.

Aren't you required to take 150 credit hours in order to sit for the CPA exam? I don't think 2 years of college would be enough to qualify. Now if you are arguing the qualifications to become a CPA is too closely tied to the university system and many irrelevant courses are thrown in, then take up the issue with NASBA and the state boards of certification.
Maybe there are schools out there that solely focus on 150 college credit hours related to the accountancy profession and don't require you to take history 1001 or other non-related courses.

As an engineering flunkie, with a BA in History, who's currently working as an Accountant (certification from BRCC), I completely agree with this. My $4k certification is making me much more money than my $30k degree.

Exactly, I didnt take 4 years worth of freaking accounting classes. I sure as hell im not using any of the sciences I took, or the basic marketing class. Im not using things from business calculus either. But i had to waste time and money on those classes.
