Career Switch to Accounting

Greetings Good People,

I am 26 and possess a non accounting B.S. degree. I have been in my field for 4 years and am currently making plans to make a career change to Accountancy by entering into a MAcc program in 2018 .  In a perfect world, I would like to finish my Masters at 27-28 and set my sights on taking the CPA exam immediately after I graduate. Since I will be coming from a Non-Accounting I would like to hear some insight as to what a realistic career path for me would look like, what type of challenges would I face with my background, and what can I do now to get my career off to a strong start.
