If you think accounting is going to be taken over by computers, then you don't know what accounting is.
Accounting is not bookkeeping.

If you're white I would be even more worried, many the large companies have aggressive "diversity" programs.
Sure a black or latino can get by with low grades. White? Sure if he's a frat boy who's handsome, and has the gift of gab.
Judging by your high post count, you're probably some nerdy introvert with bad social skills.
Good luck man.
tell me how accounting cannot be done by a computer program.
YOU don't know what programming is

Accounting isn't about the math. The math is the easy part.
The CPA exam doesn't test mathematics. It tests one's ability to apply the 1000's of GAAP, AICPA, PCOAB, SEC and IRS regulations to different business transactions or even individuals.
A computer wouldn't be able to pick up Enron fraud or World com's fraud. A computer wouldn't be able to tell if a Parent company has significant influence over a subsidiary even if it doesn't have the right stock ownership. A computer can't tell if a company is recognizing transactions that it's not supposed to.
Computers are tools. They can't make judgments. They can't apply experience and knowledge to transactions. A computer can't game a system to save a corporation or individual from paying too much in taxes.
Maybe that computer that won jeopardy could be an accountant maybe, that's basically what accounting is... Memorizing rules...like a trivia contestant.
Rules can be made into logic statements.
strips away the ambiguity also

Well...need I say more
And it's only going to get better...quickly.
Then not only accountants are at risk, so are lawyers, doctors and many other fields.
A computer can't look at a person and tell when he/she is lying. Not yet at least.
When Multiplayer bots can beat human players in in FPS games, then maybe computers can replace CPAs. I don't see that happening for at least 20-30 years.

sure they can. but you can also reprogram and hack a computer.
The moment CPAs are replaced by computers... I fear what kind of fraud companies will get away with.
