CMA program

If you are not totally sold on the CPA route, then take a look at the CMA.  I have been a CMA for 20 years and have a great appreciation for the program.  Go to http://www.imanet.org/cma_certification/become_a_cma.aspx for more information.  I also highly endorse the Gleim CMA review systems.  I used that system years ago and passed the CMA on the first try.  Go to http://www.gleim.com/accounting/products.php#CMAReviewSystems to learn more.
