I'm a CPA. I think they should provide a 2-year Accounting degree. Typically you only need 30 or so core hours to be able to walk out and actually be of some use day one. The other 30 hours could be complementary classes; finance, a little econ, business software like Excel and maybe an English class to bone up your writing and there you go. In 2 years you can start working and if you have to borrow, it's 50% of what it would have been. The only tricky part are natural pre-requiste classes. Accounting 1, then 2, then Intermediate 1 & 2. That's four semesters right there and you can fill in the rest.
But no... they want you to take the other stuff and that's not what the market is asking for.
