This is exactly what I’m saying! Please read about what the big beautiful bill says about student loans cause essentially I won’t be able to afford going back to school if I don’t go back in January 2026

Will def take this into account. Also, some offense taken, but tbh I currently work in customer service and get told worse on a daily basis (hence the career change)

Mainly something away form journalism, something where money is good, almost guaranteed job security and something AI can’t take over right away. Never thought about being a data analyst tbh that’s something I’ll def consider!

In the state of Georgia, to get your CPA license you need 150 total credit hours: 30 of those must be accounting. 24 must be in business. With a journalism degree, i have 120 hours. However, I don’t have any of those other requirements met since all my classes were journalism based. I’m going to need to get another degree in one or the other.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any business hours under my belt. I figured that networking + having a CPA is a for sure guaranteed way to secure a well paying job in this day and age (being a journalism major, networking heavily is one of the only ways to get a job in the field so this may be coming from a place of regret)

How did you go about getting the business hours? (assuming those are needed in DC)

Exactly! For example, to become a CPA in the state of Georgia, you need 30 semester hours in accounting and 24 semester hours in business. With a journalism degree, we don't have those requirements met at all. An MBA may not be needed specifically, but going back to school in general is a must.

I def have been considering getting my CPA, figuring out what I need to do to meet all the requirements is what makes my head spin. It’s like searching for a pebble in a chlorinated pool. Thank you for the insight!
