What to expect to make if I become a CPA

I just finished high school early, and I'm looking to start college in August. I need advise on what would be the proper steps to take to obtain a salary of 100,000 or higher to support the lifestyle I desire. I am wanting to major in business finance or something of that nature. Thanks!

The CPA is an accounting certification, not a finance one. You need to conduct further research to educate yourself on a prospective career path.
