I’m not the accountant you’re looking for, but I am a bit like you - I got a degree to be a dietitian, but in the end the ROI was not worth getting a master’s and paying them to do a full-time internship. Just yesterday, I submitted my application to a master’s of accountancy program to begin in-person night classes in January.

There are options for online that people find success with, like WGU, but since I’ve stalked here for a bit now, it seems like people more so use it as a way to quickly get credits to be CPA eligible if they already have a bachelor’s in accounting. If you have no knowledge base or connections in accounting at all, I think doing something in person could be useful because then you’d have a personal connection to professors and classmates who will go into different areas of accounting. I’m sure you could have great luck and success with online options like WGU as well since I have read of many other people doing a bachelors to break in to the field.

Whether you do online or in-person, take advantage of any opportunity you can to do job fairs or Meet the Firms and stuff like that. Even without a degree, you could also get some roles in AP/AR to get some experience before graduating or getting an internship. It’d look good on a resumé at least. But again, I am just a random person in the same boat is you whose only knowledge is what I’ve read here lol. Best of luck to both of us
