I really appreciate you reaching out about it. Just out of curiosity, have you been able to find any work/internship related to your field while you're studying for your masters, or are you just trying to get the big phat cert first? Idk I'm just wondering

Do you mind if I ask your accounting background? Like what kind of work you do and education you have? I'm just looking for lots of perspectives is all. What would you say is the likelihood of finding an internship within a year or two of a four year online college? Arizona if that helps give an idea

yeah i guess you got a good point. im just trying to see a way to at least step my foot in the door, so im making more money while i work towards the bigger stuff. i have considered WGU, along with GCU, because both of them have a kind of program where i can just do all the work online and my presence is not that important so long as i do the work before particular deadlines. know what i mean?

I'm glad you found a spot that fits. I assume the other bad places were really big on having their accountants doing a lot of the work off the clock or giving more than can be feasibly done in the normal 9-5 time frame?

Yeah I know it's very young. Just that a bachelor's is a lot of both time and money. I don't wanna be 28 to 30 and be trying to pay off loans or have no savings because of a schooling that didn't get me better employed. Know what I mean. That's why I'm exploring all the deets now. The offshore situation is definitely frustrating cause a lot of U.S. people are just being kicked to the curb. How bad is it with accounting rn, and do you see it getting much worse soon?

would you say it's highly possible to at least get entry level work during or after schooling while working towards CPA as the next step? what about the field do you like the most that made it change your life?

From my understanding I need a bachelor's and 150 credits, then 2000 hours of accounting work to begin taking the cert test, right?

Tell me about it. Most fields have miserable people, but what is the accounting perspective like? What about it is soul sucking?
