If you're in Public, why is your income so low?

Fixing that makes more sense than staying at whatever poorly-paying firm you're at

Why not?

Larger cities have more opportunities.

Depending on your state of licensure, you may just need “credits” to hit the 150 if your accounting bachelors covers the core competencies required. That means you can just take throwaway classes at a community college.

Get that CPA
