You dont really get a cpa just for the heck of furthering your skills, its very demanding especially if you dont have an accounting background. Like I said Im still on the fence about it but the more input i get (here for example) the more I will put myself in a position to get my cpa. I am currently taking a course in grad school that is actually a cpa review course so i will see how it pans out and probably throw in a Becker type review course next semester so I can sit for the exam in the summer. The main appeal to me of the cpa is its a one time test and thats it, besides cpe stuff every two years but thats no big deal.WODIN said:Wrong Answer.
As well as earning a living I am looking to further my skills in knowledge of accounting and business overall and will be pursuing that along with other advanced degrees, an mba and possibly a phd.
Trust me.
