No you don't actually. A degree is not needed to become a chartered accountant - all it does is exempt you from a few of the exams. It is quite an expensive thing to train for though so most people try to get a position with a firm that will pay for the training. Some firms like their trainees to have an accountancy degree, some aren't bothered. Of course, you can also become an accountant in industry and not need to be chartered. There are plenty of those around who are classed as 'qualified by experience'.
