I’ve held the first five job titles in the article at various times and never made near the $130K they cite. I have a Masters degree in Accounting and a CPA. The only way I made over $150K was to have a side hustle with my own CPA work. I worked with graduates from other schools that could only use excel to add a column of numbers and knew nothing about pivot tables, nested IF formulas or macros. All education is not equal.
