A BS in Accounting is now a 5-year course per the governing accounting association (national.)
THEN, of course, one has to take a heavy programming (not MS crap) courseload, as well.
Finally, someone has to get hired by a CPA firm--or perhaps a very large industrial or financial--to actually get into the field.
Almost any company of any size has IT auditors. And yes, gee, whaddya know, someone has to be worthy of being hired for the job.
No one is owed a job. The thought that someone is owed a job is so leftist it is hanging off the end by its fingernails.
