You have recently graduated with an accounting degree. Use the Web

to investigate what exactly is involved in becoming a Certified Public

Accountant (CPA). Good places to start are Wikipedia's "Certified

Public Accountant" entry and the Department of Labor's Occupational

Outlook Handbook entry on accountants and auditors. What advantages and

disadvantages do you see? Would you decide to take this step? Why or why

not?

Many prominent investors and CEO's have degrees in accounting. It teaches one how to read balances sheets of corporations and understand income statements. One would benefit with this degree just as much as having a finance or math degree. The disadvantage is if you don't like numbers this isn't the right career path for you. Seek your passion or you'll never be happy.
