The overall average salary for college graduates in 2011 was $41,701, but those graduating with a degree in accounting averaged $50,500 according to the 2012 National Association of Colleges and Employers survey. Those who go on to earn their CPA license can expect a median salary of $73,800, with top salaries around $124,000.
While the BLS reports that the median U.S. salary for accountants and auditors is $73,670, individuals in the lowest 10% of the range earned $40,850 and those in the highest 10% earned $115,950.

That's a huge jump, over 40% on the low end, but it's unlikely that individuals with the same job would make that much more.
