You can still do public accounting without a CPA but only under the supervision of an actual CPA. The difference in pay at entry level wont be that big but after ten years or so it will be significantly different since your responsibilities are capped without a CPA, meaning too that your pay is essentially capped. You might also want to open your own accounting shop once you gain experience too, but you can’t do that without having your CPA.
CPA itself is hard, but not impossible for anyone who did well in their accounting coursework. The best way to study is to just make sure you do well in all your courses to begin with… people who struggle with the CPA usually are the ones who got C’s and even D’s in their accounting coursework and so have a vague understanding of the processes. They struggle throughout, while the ones who got A’s and B’s usually only need a mild review course. Understand that you only need a score of 75% to pass the test sections of the CPA and you can retake them.
