I am currently in high school, and I am thinking of going into the accounting field as a nonpublic accountant. The questions I have are: (1)What can I do to maxamize my success as a nonpublic accountant? and (2) Is getting lisenced as a CPA useless if I am not going into public accounting? Thanks in advanced.

If you don't want to be a public accountant, you can always go towards private and governenment accounting. So you would either have a job working for government, non-profit or private company job like for eg. Chevron.

CPA is the ultimate certification in Accounting but I personally know that most people who get their Bachelors in Accounting, don't get their CPAs. Getting a CPA is a good thing but its not a requirement. CPAs make more money than people who just have Bachelors who work at the same job position....

You can get your CPA and not go to public accounting. You will be preferred if you are a CPA and you apply for a job at some private company doing internal auditing.
