Accounting is now depending on computer.
You should be generally aware of computer sciences, and have a well knowledge of Excel.
You should have a start regardless of the salary to have at least two years experience, experience is your real certificate.
You also need more study, specially ACCA or CMA.

Learn the subject well by practicing a lot.
Use the exercises in your books as practice.
Then choose a career line.
Do you want to be a financial accountant or management accountant? Getting certification after completing your studies can help improve your chances.
For example, you can try to get CFA certification or CMA or CPA, or ACCA, etc.
You may need to take a course to enable yourself to pass the required exams.
Taking the course at one of the big four companies can help you advance in your career.
During your course you may even be able to impress the company (by your abilities) and get an internship.
Getting an internship with an established firm will also bring positive results to your career.
Finally, put your best effort and you'll reap good results.
oh yes, and learning accounting software is also necessary as it is required a lot.
