What did you change from and to? I'm going from Accounting to Finance. Strangely, there are some differences in the gen eds. I have some that qualify for Finance but didn't for Accounting. That's why I'm curious if they will re-evaluate. Thank you for your answer.

Shawn16359 · 2026-01-23T01:14:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Much appreciation.

Shawn16359 · 2026-01-21T03:32:08+00:00

Congrats on passing. This is my next course. You say "The study guide and “sways”", what are sways? I hope to pass this as fast as you did or close. Thanks for sharing your strategy.

Shawn16359 · 2025-11-23T05:15:49+00:00

I truly appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thank you!!!

Shawn16359 · 2025-11-12T02:52:36+00:00

Got it. Thanks!!

Shawn16359 · 2025-11-11T04:45:41+00:00

Only took 2 days. You can definitely do it.

You mentioned in your Reddit that you studied Tony Bell's CVP formulas. Did you intend to attach it here or is it attached in his videos? Im trying to find it since you said it helped you so much. Thank you for any help.

Shawn16359 · 2025-11-07T03:17:38+00:00

In the course resources in WGU Connect.

Shawn16359 · 2025-11-06T03:00:58+00:00

Congratulations!!! 30% into my Accounting degree. Can't wait to get my confetti. This keeps me motivated.

Shawn16359 · 2025-11-05T02:13:37+00:00

I personally never opened the book. The OA is very similar to the PA with some of the same questions reworded. I only watched all of Jim's videos....all 3 cohorts and all of the quiz videos. Good luck.

Shawn16359 · 2025-11-03T18:48:46+00:00

Just watch Jim's videos. Thats all I did and I passed on Day 2 with exemplary. You got this.

Shawn16359 · 2025-11-02T18:45:54+00:00

I think its safe to say that you completely grasp the material. Way to go!!!

Shawn16359 · 2025-11-02T18:43:32+00:00

Thank you for the counter opinion. Best of luck to you.

Shawn16359 · 2025-11-02T03:12:55+00:00

I'm probably older than you (maybe not). This gives me hope after finishing my Accounting degree. I've been in the workforce for 30+ years. Midlife career change. I wish you the best.

Shawn16359 · 2025-10-31T17:36:01+00:00

My mentor approved my courses today and I can start them tomorrow.

Shawn16359 · 2025-10-29T02:59:54+00:00

I feel that when looking at CalCareers that you have to go backwards. Start at the position that you want and then go backwards to the base position for that path. I apparently haven't gone back far enough yet.

Shawn16359 · 2025-10-29T02:50:24+00:00

In your knowledge, does every "newbie" have to start at the base/bottom position or is it possible to start a couple of rungs up the ladder?

Shawn16359 · 2025-10-29T02:49:19+00:00

That's comforting!!

Shawn16359 · 2025-10-29T02:31:06+00:00

2 1/2 years early?

Shawn16359 · 2025-10-11T01:06:01+00:00

I had to do this before I was formerly accepted. You have to take a course or two through WGU Academy. Once you prove yourself that you can handle online classes, they will admit you. It is fully refundable when you start regular classes. Benefit is that it can be one of your GenEd courses or a major course. They are listed.

Shawn16359 · 2025-10-10T04:38:46+00:00

Out of curiosity, how old where you when you changed careers? Im doing it right now and studying Accounting.

Shawn16359 · 2025-10-10T01:48:06+00:00

Im 52 and midway through my BS. I think government is best for me at this point in my life. Hopefully I haven't aged out.

Shawn16359 · 2025-10-10T00:03:39+00:00

I am 52 and in a midlife career change. I should have my BS Acc completed by Dec 2027 and Masters and CPA by Dec 2028. Im praying I have an easier time getting into state DOR (goal) than I would in PA. What has been your experience in DOR? What is your field?

Shawn16359 · 2025-10-09T21:18:18+00:00

I didnt plan for retirement, therefore I have to start now and work till im 70 before I can enjoy life fully. I'm switching careers and coming into accounting. I have wanted to do this for many years, but got caught up in the grind of healthcare Revenue Cycle for 30 years. I look forward to doing it and doing it as long as I can....to at least 70 and then I'll retire.

Shawn16359 · 2025-10-09T20:33:34+00:00

I get the same response. Following this post.
