Ok guys, I know this is a greedy kinda of a question but after reading what plumbers get after there apprenticeship i'm curious as to how graduate accountants+ CA/CPA accountants compare..

Lets take 2 examples..
One guy , like myself with a pass average gets himself into a mid-tier firm. How much would i expect to get? And approximately how long will it take for them to shove me into the CA/CPA programme?

Another guy, a high flyer D/HD average has each of the big 4 at his mercy. How much would he expect to get? Will he/she be fasttracked into CA? Or will the time period be the same as someone in a mid-tier.

And lastly, what kind of pay does expect after getting a CA/CPA? Exactly how much is the qualification worth? I know of a family friend who failed tax units twice and she has gone on to London where she is earning close to 40pounds/hour. How typical is this scenario? Is it common to see lets say 27-35yr old accountants getting 85k+ year?

any input would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

pass average in accounting is just retarded.

Yes. Most partners in the big4 would have been inducted before 35 years of age.

But if you're only managing a pass average (I hope at least you're at a hard uni) then the CA may be a challenge for you given the content is harder and you'll be working whilst studying.

Mid-tier will pay more than big4 to start with but then level out much faster.
