career cluster that use similar skills. ... You can start

CTE classes fall into one of 16 "career clusters." A
career cluster is a group of jobs and industries
that are related by skills or products. Within
each cluster, there are "cluster pathways" that
correspond to a collection of courses and
training opportunities to prepare students for a
chosen career.

While associate degrees in accounting are

available, most professionals in the field have
at least a bachelor's degree. Accountants with a
four-year degree are able to complete most
accounting duties. These include examining
records, reconciling accounts, preparing
financial reports and completing tax returns
 Accountants work with numbers to prepare
financial statements and documents, so you
should take classes in mathematics, algebra,
calculus, and statistics. Accountants work with
information technology to track financial data
and prepare financial records, so you should
take classes in computer science.
