Should I get associates degree from my current college before transferring to another one?

I am currently a sophomore majoring in accounting at a small private school (the accounting program isn’t the greatest), and am transferring in the fall 09 to a bigger private school with a better accounting program. At the new school I plan to get my Bachelor’s degree, and then spend another year to get my Master’s in Forensic Studies (I need 150 credit hours to take the CPA exam). I have heard that Associate degrees are looked down upon, but I am pretty sure that I have taken all the classes needed for it. My gpa at my current school is very high, so could I use the associates degree as something that could boost up my resume, or is it pointless for me to get it?

Does anyone work as a forensic accountant or a CPA?

So i’m majoring in accounting and am mainly interested in forensic accounting but realistically will just work as a CPA and im wondering if your company paid for you to take the CPA exam and how much you made your first year out of college. They tell me at my school a accrediated 4 year university that we will make at least ,000. That seems sort of high to me but I personally dont know any accountants so im not sure. Also what do you do all day at work?
