Excellent is the best word to describe the career potential for today's accounting students. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states that accounting will be one of the hottest job markets through 2014. Accounting is a critical component of every type and size of business and industry including government, health care, education, not-for-profit, and military organizations.
