Absolutely. You do NOT need a CPA license to have an amazing career and career trajectory in the world of accounting. However,

1. If you decide against the CPA designation, then that means you are deciding against public accounting (is that correct?), so
2. There are many opportunities in accounting besides public accounting - management accounting, internal auditing, corporate finance, and similar positions.
3. However, use your early years to be broad as much as possible - learn everything you can. Then start narrowing your interests. Like data science? Then study outside of work. Like forensic accounting? Study outside work. Start a self-study program in the area where you desire to specialize.
