I first learned about EA when I read some of Peter Singer’s book “The Life You Can Save” a few years ago. I had a renewed interest in EA from last year when I became more interested in animal ethics and animal rights. I am interested in maximizing impact for human health, income inequality, social justice, and animal rights/welfare/health.
I am almost finished my accounting degree (finished 4 years, will graduate in the upcoming year for 5y total schooling), after which I will study/work for 3 years to become chartered as an accountant in Canada. Being chartered will also allow me to practice accounting in other countries. The issue I have now is that I am trying to maximize my earning potential to be able to give more in my lifetime. Being a university-educated professional is definitely useful, but I want to know if there is more that I can do.
I am considering going into law school (my GPA would put me in a mid-tier school, good enough to practice law), or focusing on my CPA, or doing both simultaneously? Is it better to get to work immediately into accounting or should I do more schooling? Should I pivot to a different career within business and financial services?
I would appreciate any resources on career choice, comparison for salary numbers, or cost of living comparison.
