Do accountant's make bank?

[chris350]

would that be becker? and do you like it and feel it helps a lot?

well ive never taken the exam before so if i pass it all within a few tries then I guess it was worth it. If i had to do it again i might have just done the online course since i think you get the same textbooks but a lotta the live teachers basically almost just read from the books. A few of the teachers have been good so far but a lotta them almost just read straight from the book for 4 hours. Ive found a lotta the audit and tax stuff as well as the financial reporting I had already learned from my classes in school and it basically was just a review of that. There are several concepts that I had kinda forgetten like the different bankruptcy types etc...

my company pays for becker but Ive got all the Gleim books with CDs and all my professors say the gleim stuff should be all i need. I would rather not have to bother with going to class 4 hours twice a week if i can get away with it.

financial contractor doing books for local client > corporate accounting.

the former allows you freedom, ability to delegate monkey work to juniors, set your own hours, and ability to grow and make bank. whether it's accounting, bookkeeping, taxes, or both.

the latter provides comfy job security. Simple and Sweet. And some people with $3g mortgages and hitting middle-age need that. But you pay a price. Price being you're now a slave, your salary is locked, risk being treated like crap, and your creativity ability stops.

When I need money, I freelance IT stuff to clients. I can blow the crap out of average IT joes.

But being a corporate monkey doing that, for little pay and answering to a master 40 hrs a week? - ain't my thang baby.

Heres the usual order of events: graduate, work for CPA firm as monkey for ~3 years, move on to industry to make bank, or start own firm to make bank.

Its rare for the monkeys to hang around longer than that unless they are shooting for partner at the big ass firm

the partners at the big 4 and major regional firms make bank and have sweet benefits...also I might start my own tax firm someday and they usually do pretty well

who cares if she makes cash, shes a chick and hes a guy. the important factors are her hotness and personality. he should be making his own damn scratch.
