I’m 35 and interested in going to college for accounting. Would an Associates degree help me get started somewhere? I am also working at a job completely different to buisness and am pursuing online vs classroom courses. Do companies accept online degrees as much as classroom degrees? Thank you!

@phall2008 Do you at least enjoy accounting? Like what is an average day for you

too good to be true.

Umm… Okay yeah I wish they hadn’t portrayed accounting like this. I’m an accountant. Not a CPA. We don’t start out making $50,000/year. I have my bachelor’s yes, but even after 10 years of working in accounting my salary isn’t $50,000. It’s MUCH less than that. I make apx $40,000/year and that is high. I’m seeing $10 and $12 part time jobs VERY regularly.

And it isn’t easy to get your CPA. You need a Bachelor’s PLUS 120-150 hours in accounting. That’s alot.

@nlitement watching the Zeitgeist films doesn’t explain a Resource Based Economy …you would have to listen to Peter Joseph’s lectures and also look up all Jacques Fresco’s material and read his book, ‘The Best that money cant’ buy’ before you could have any understanding of a Resource Based Economy and why it is so essential for the future of us all.

1:08….sounds inspired. would love to work in accounting
1:40 “compressed work weeks” = 80hrs work p/week

heck the work may be boring, but in your spare time, you can do things that aren’t boring
