I am interested in an a career as an accountant. Problem is seems like every college has a degree available for this, so how does one choose a school? With so many it's hard to figure it all out. For those interested i'm in the central ohio area.

Are you thinking of CPA?

No idea !!

Not to familiar with all that is accounting, I hurt my leg and can't continue with my current career. So now i'm looking into accounting, I have a friend at a bank that say it's a good stable career.

IMHO then you must survey the market and then survey yourself about the acceptability and compatibility of different fields and then think and rethink about that field which you will choose whatever it will be accounting or non-accounting.It is bit non-serious way to select any field specially accounting :p

CPA is short for Certified Public Accountant.It is popular in America and Australia.
