Dear uroojazam
If you are good in your profession, you can make much more than CAs/CPAs, but it needs hard work.
In USA, after passing USMLE and getting residency position in a hospital (which are very competitive), all you need is 3 years of residency to be MD (though very demanding), and then usually 2 years of specialization. After that, you can even make more than CPAs. During residency, one makes comparable $$$ with entry level CPAs.
In USA, medical is highly respectable, lucrative and money minting profession. More than 10,000 Pakistani origin MDs are in USA in medical profession. Get more info. at following link;

CPA is not the magic wand to make money and there is no short-cut for success in life.
Personally, I don't like doctors in Pakistan sitting for CSS exams, though it is their personal choice. Few years back, there was 1 doctor for every 5000 people in Pakistan, which is not a good indicator.
If you don't like medicine then it would be a different story. I assume you already have some sort of legal status so you can move to States legally in future.
I hope it helps.
Regards
