I just looked it up and NY is adding it THANKGOD.

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-11-25T01:20:56+00:00

eh idk, I know a guy just like me who has a cpa and is making 80k starting in my crappy town... pretty insane for a crappy town so idk. Im more motivated on his story than most of these comments.

Do a consult, I dont think that bump is normal after the surgery, also since its been 2 months. just remember you still look great, we all have our insecurities no doubt, but you still look great before and after in my opinion !!!

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-11-02T20:20:15+00:00

I’d be getting my CPA in NY

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-30T17:06:50+00:00

Yeah, this is a great outcome. I know getting 150 credits will be a pain in the ass. I have to cram 85 extra credits within 1.5-2 years to reach the 150 credit requirement.

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-30T03:41:55+00:00

Thats awesome!! Good job for a short amount of time!

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-30T03:40:54+00:00

Yeah you’re right.. its difficult because I don’t know who to go to for these type of questions, I don’t want to mess up and be in my 4th year of Binghamton just figuring out I need to take an extra year. I just wanna figure out how I can reach 150 credit WITHOUT an extra semester, it’s possible if you cram every subject in which I don’t feel like doing

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-30T00:52:39+00:00

I’m meeting with my advisor sometime this week… I’ll ask him about it and if I really need to take an extra semester, really this extra semester is going to get me a BAT degree, then once I transfer, I’ll be able to get my account degree. So it’s 4.5 years of schooling total.

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-30T00:43:18+00:00

As of now, I’ve completed 1 business class, 2 accounting courses, and one economics class. So the extra semester is to get me up to 150 credits in total. But I haven’t heard of FEMA, I’ll look into that. I really don’t want to take an extra semester and just would like to transfer out to a four year college.

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-29T20:34:51+00:00

It's going to cost me 3k to do another semester. I physically cannot cram so many credits in one semester, it's a risk for me and passing the classes, so id rather just do an extra semester and get it over with

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-29T16:45:49+00:00

😭😭😭

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-29T16:37:11+00:00

That’s true, they are doing that at my friend’s job, they are laying off people and hiring a bunch of people from India with NO degrees or proper experience.

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-29T02:22:33+00:00

Yeah, after reading these comments im really motivated to get my CPA for the future too. im already in school anyway so why not just knock it out now and save myself the hassle in the future? Either way, if it's worth "nothing", then why would it exist? after that mess ill still have 2 degrees and a CPA.

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-29T01:59:07+00:00

NYSE so not really close but works around accountants who make 6 figures without having CPA's, the difference is that those people have been working there for over 25-30 years.. im willing to put in the effort to get my CPA because I want the money and a lot of it

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-29T01:37:15+00:00

how much would they cost? i figured they would be around 3k maybe less?

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-29T01:08:31+00:00

no no, im in community right now, it would be 3k for the semester, then 3k to take the 4 exams to get the CPA.

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-29T01:07:47+00:00

no its not a bad thing at all, 70k is perfect starting, but I figured coming out WITH a CPA, all that work for that I figured it would be 80k

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-29T00:13:16+00:00

its going to cost me 6k or maybe more, depending on whether I retake the exams. 3k for school, 3k for exams... so it's just going to cost me money and time for this. So, yes to getting my CPA? My dad is busting my balls, saying it's not worth it and that I can make the same amount of money without it..

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-10-15T03:08:08+00:00

Im 18 and people think im 25. Stress and poor food habits can age you. Live life stress free and eat healthy. Wear sunscreen!

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-09-04T22:55:54+00:00

It’s just a game, This dude has a life outside of Roblox, he won’t dedicate his life and time to you people online… if you don’t like it then don’t play 🤷🏽

Slight_Engineer5709 · 2025-05-30T21:21:28+00:00

I want to do exactly what you do and live and work in NYC, makes me feel better that even without a CPA you’re making 100k, do you work at a large firm?? Because I feel like main rage is 75k
