I’m currently in college studying accounting. Right now my goal is to finish my degree and become a CPA. I hear quite often that CPAs have a poor work/life balance. I’ve heard they put it lots of hours and don’t get paid that well for what they out in. Is this true? I dont mind putting in extra effort but I don’t want to feel like my job dictates my life.

I have an MBA and I am wondering if I should go on getting a Black belt certification in Six Sigma ( NOT KARATE you guys!) OR become a CPA? Given the current job market which one makes more sense, CPA or Black belt in six sigma?

I am graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting in just two weeks. I have decided to not pursue a job but take the next couple of months to study and dedicated my time to passing the CPA exam. Interested in seeing which review course people have take and how their overall experience was with them. Becker is always pushed so heavily at my school but am interested in hearing about others as well! THANK YOU!

I plan to get a job in a CPA Firm while trying to qualify for and pass the CPA Exam (It requires 2 years of work under a licensed CPA).

I realize the new CPA exam requires 150 credit hours of coursework but Can I fulfill this requirement will 150 credits of UNDERGRAD coursework? It seems an MS in Accountancy will definitely do the job, but what about BS Accountancy?

Any good tips to get encourage to go for CPA exams. Which is the best and easy way to study.
is it good idea to take a break from the job and just study so that you have a lot of time in your hand for the preparations

I will be graduating in about a year with double major in accounting and finance, which will give me 150 credits to sit for the CPA. How should i handle the CPA. Should i study for it right after getting my degree, or should i look for a job first. And how long should i study for each part, will i be finished with my CPA within a year. I also want to get a MBA sometime in the future. Thanks in advance.

I current have my Associates and I’m working on my Bachelors, I have worked a few Accounts Clerks job doing A/P, A/R. Payroll etc. Is there any state that will allow me to take the CPA without having yet earned my Bachelors degree?

I will be graduating shortly from Ohio State University with a degree in Accounting but I have not landed a job yet. I really want to work for the big 4 but since I have not received an offer, I was thinking of studying for the CPA and passing it then trying again which should hopefully increase my chances. I will be working only part-time so I can fully focus on studying. I am pretty good at studying by dedicating myself therefore I will probably buy the Roger Philip online CPA review course. Anyways, how much time do you think I should dedicate to studying each section if I really don’t have any other engagements. I appreciate all comments. Thanks.
