Finished College!

Recommended Posts

I finally finished college this week and graduated with an Associate Degree in Accounting. I’m pretty proud of myself. I’m the only one in my family with a degree. It’s been a pretty challenging 2 ½ years, but it’s been worth it.

I start an internship at a CPA firm in January. I will mostly be doing tax returns. That isn’t my favorite thing to do, but it could lead to a full-time job there and it would look great on a resume.

Re: Finished College!

Congratulations! That is a real accomplishment there!

You want some time honored advice? Get that experience doing taxes, learn to do basic bookkeeping, and start your own firm doing bookkeeping and taxes.

You will make a fortune and never have to worry about buyouts, bosses, or being downsized, rightsized, wrongsized or fired ever again.

Re: Finished College!

CPA is a Certified Public Accountant. That I am not. You need a lot more schooling for that. I don't think I will go for another degree, unless someone else pays for it. Although 2 1/2 years at the tech school only ended up costing a little less than $6000. I can't imagine what the same schooling for 4 years at a UW would have costed. shocked.gif
