My roommate studied every night for about 2 months for the CPA.
Even though I will have the credits needed once I get my masters, I dont think I will ever bother with it.
Actually none of my accounting friends are planning on it either but maybe that will change in a few years

give yourself about 3 months - although that was back in the day when you had to talk all 4 parts at once. Now you can study one part for like 3 weeks, take it, study for 3 weeks, take part 2, study, etc.
Also, if you get the degree, and you get the work experience (i.e. 2 years of public accounting or working under a CPA) you are a fool for not getting the cert.
Even if you do nothing with, it literally adds tens of thousands of dollars per year to your value. I went into IT consulting after stints at Pricewaterhouse and Grant Thornton, and the most critical areas in any IT shop are financial reporting, so the fact that I'm a CPA that's knows IT controls / SOx stuff, and application development stuff makes me a gold mine. ignore anyone that tells you not to get it, even if you don't plan to be an auditor.

do you have a job? I love how people go to law school even though only like 10% of grads get jobs making more than $80K. Why not just take the $100K you spent on school to vegas and play blackjack? Much better odds.
