Thanks for your quick reply.
I think I wanted to get the CPA because I think that I have high understanding of accounting as a knowledge, however, I'm not into working in finace or accounting. My career path if I accept the new job offer will be contracts advisor. I'm actually still fresh graduate, I also would like to seek your advice if CPA might add value in other business areas.

Taking the CPA exam will take tremendous effort. But it will be easier now for an individual with recent experience then opting later on.

There are so many. Owning your own business comes to mind. Teaching will always be an option.
That was very helpful. Thanks
