Hunting Habits and Diet. A Florida bobcat, for instance, may prey - often pouncing from a height - on several dozen species within its range, including wildlife such as rabbits, squirrels, rats, mice, possums, raccoons, quail, jays, robins, wrens, sparrows and, occasionally, even deer.
Certification. A 2012 survey conducted by Robert Half Finance & Accounting, a national financial recruiter, found that first-year accountants earn $35,250 to $42,750 a year at small companies. But with a professional certification, salaries increase by an average of 5 to 10 percent. In this situation, a CPA can expect to earn $37,013 to $47,025 a year. Those at midsize companies earn $39,375 to $51,700 a year, while those at large companies earn even higher salaries, averaging $41,738 to $54,450 a year.
Some of these things the CNA is able to control, such as the experience that he or she has and the place where he or she works. Some things, such as the set salary a business will pay to a CNA, are out of the CNA's control. For a CNA in Texas, the average salary ranges from around $20,000 to $24,000 a year. For many Texas CNAs, this is a comfortable salary.
