Answer:
Answer 1
An Accountant isn't a very high payed job these days. With the economy dropping at an alarming rate its just cheaper to count your cash by hand. Accountants can make around 40,000 to 60,000 a year and that's taking taxes out before hand.
Answer 2
I just want to say that accountants do much more than count cash. They take care of other corporations finances, whether internally or externally. They also audit companies and prepare taxes for companies and private citizens. Bachelors degree accountants do make anywhere from 35,000 to 65,000 depending on their geographic location, experience, the branch of accounting they work in, and the actual company they work for. CPAs are known to make from 85,000 to over 100,000 - depending on the size of the company.
