What would be the cheapest, most efficient and intelligent route to
becoming an accountant in the US? Educational  background so far:  BS
in Health Sciences from well-known university, 2 years of computer
classes, plus 2 years of full-time bookkeeping experience.  I reside
in Washington State in close proximity to a community college and a
large University.  I'm in my late-twenties with few financial
responsibilities but i don't really want to accrue a large debt.  At
the same time, i don't want to come off as some kind of slouch to any
prospective employers. I received a 4.0 at a semi-Ivy League
University and don't want that to outshine this other attempt at
educating myself TOO much.  Maybe that's too much information??!?

Anyway, thank you to whoever can do a little research for me!

"Accountant" is a very broad job description.  Do you have any
specific job or career you are looking towards?  Bookkeeper? Accounts
payable clerk? Financial Analyst? Tax accountant? Auditor? Public
accounting firm? CPA?...Most states now require a B.S. in accounting
including a minimum of 5 years college education to sit for the CPA
exam.  Not your answer, but this info might help one of the real
google researchers answer your question better.  Good Luck!
