I registered for classes, I finally decided I wanted to major in Accounting, so I'm back in school, at the age of 23. I have a ways to go before graduating, especially working full-time as well. Here begins a hard, but furfilling life. I don't care if it takes me 6-7 years to get my BA, but I'll get it done now that I have the proper motivation. Better late than never. :)
What school you going to
Good luck man, education never stops.
Right now I have to finish a few classes at Community College, then going to transfer to GMU once I meet the requirements and raise my GPA a little.
Sweet, goodluck
THC, i'm 28 and i'm just a junior and I'm in the accounting program too...best of luck to ya buddy, maybe i have a fellow auditor here!!
Nice! I'm not the only stoner that wants to major in accounting, and doing it working at the same time! Awesome. Were going to make it.
Theres alot of cash to be made hiding the illicit funds of ceos
Always a good thing to have a goal... Good luck,,,not that you need it...
yeah, THC, its great, i really like nuym,bers and shit, so it's right up[ my alley, lus my roommate and longtime friend just graduated from the same school im going to now, so its like i have a live-in tutor, so its GRRRREAT
Awesome, congratulations. It is never too late to go back to school! In fact, I have heard from many people that taking a break after high school is a good idea.Quote:

It probably will take me 5 to 5 and a half years all together to get my BS...but whatever....
You will be fine! :)
on another note, my buddy got his BS in Acct in 1.5 years, he didnt work at all and took like 20-22 crdits a semester. Me, i've been back and forth between work and school for far too long, now i quit work and go to school full time...finally want it for myself.
Yeah...I have been working the whole time I am in school except for like 2 terms total.Quote:

So I pretty much work full time and go to school full time.
I work 32 hours a week and I am taking 12 credits. 4 days of school a week, and 4 days of work a week. Yay..my life rocks.
fuck, check this out. cuz i'm 28 and i DON'T work, i get paid to go to school. In 2006, I collected unemployment ($6600) and i worked for 1 day and collected $72. So on my tax return for 2006 i earned 6672. But i had money isaved up and shit cuz i knew i was gonna do this. So now in 2007, i get my tuitiona nd books paid for, plus theres enought financial aid to pay my rent and some food and shit. So i just work under the table doing some small accounting work for one of my professors and i make out like a bandit.
Sounds like you got it made.Quote:

I am really lucky for that..I just hope I actually can graduate sometime.
everyone in school now needs to fill out the FASFA, theres a lot of free money out there.
FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid
I got financial aid my first year of college, they paid for half of my tuition, it was sweet. Unfortunatly my mom literally made like 3,000$ more the next year, so all they would offer me after that is just student loans..Quote:

Everything just sucks! :thumbsup: :jointsmile: :hippy:
Best of luck to ya :)
I've got an open oppurtunity to make it big in accounting.
I'm good at math, my Aunt is the owner of her accounting buisness, and she wants ME to take over. I apparently remind her of herself with my attitude and organization.
I'm just trying to decide..I'm not really sure what I want to do. Work in something with audio, like a Studio Job as Audio Director(which I do in my TV Media class for our News Show project), or a recording type studio. I could also take my chances in science, I'm a genius in Chemistry and love it. But then theres the guaranteed road to success for me in Accounting, Im just not sure if thats what I want to do.
Congrats! I'm headed off to college next year... hopefully I'll be half as motivated at you!:thumbsup:
Keep it up! You'll feel great when you graduate, even if it takes a while. You'll probably earn alot more once you have that degree, too.
good job man, must be hard going back to school at 23 and with a full time job :eek: but worth it
good luck man and keep motivated :) it'll all pay off eventually
fuck accounting dude that shit sucks
thats the attitude man!Quote:

Congrats, thc!
Gettin' my BA in English, minoring in education. I want to get my MA in English, teach high school while I work on my PhD, then teach at a university... I LOVE English courses, a lot of the teachers are really laid back and stoners, but the education classes can be a hassle sometimes, they're kind of boring, but I'm learning!
