I live in Canada and it is a bit different, however a CGA here is like a CPA in the US. I started to take accounting, but after completing my 2 yr diploma and starting on the degree & CGA I decided that it wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Anyways, the diploma will get a good job, but to have the degree/CPA will get a much better job and the pay will be much higher. If you enjoy this field you should take it as far as you can, it will be a huge benefit if you do. Good luck!
