Depends on the state but typical entry level accountants in NYC make about $40k/year.
To be a typical number crunching accountant, a BS in accounting is preferable, but they may take you if you have a BS in Finance or Economics instead.
To make more than the rest, you need a QUALIFYING BS in Accounting so that you can pass the CPA exam and get your CPA license. In order to get your CPA license you need to go above an Accountant and perform public auditing for 2 years.

You’ll need to use a salary calculator because pay is dependent on geography and job pool. The article describes types of accounting and education. A search in YAHOO for Accountant salary or Accountant requirements will give you all you need to read.
