Will a BA in History and an accounting certificate get me an accounting job?

I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2001 with a History degree. i did some museum jobs after graduation. i would like to have a career in accounting. I am planning to go to a local community college to get a certificate in accounting. Will this help me find an good accounting job? I know my BA in History is worthless for the accounting job.

1. Why don't you get another bachelors degree in accounting? a certificate or an associates degree will get you a reasonably decent bookkeeping job, but for just a little more work you could get a degree, become a cpa and do well for yourself.
