scribe jones posted:You can also look for something like the program I'm taking, which is basically like a master's of accounting except you don't end up with a master's degree I am doing the same thing. I figure as long as I pass the CPA exam, then what difference does a masters vs. certificate make? Maybe I am making a horrible choice that I will regret, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than a masters program.

so I have been told that a CPA and financial advisor (I guess a CFP?) team up is pretty common, what about a CPA and Lawyer team up? Hellblazer I know you were talking about doing both a few posts back but what I referring to would be a partnership.

Ribsauce posted:Can you still get your CPA designation? I would feel like such a jerkoff if I got an accounting degree and never passed the CPA exam and met the requirements. This was kind of a similar situation to what I was hoping to do and I am curious about this answer as well. As I understand it, if you have the requirements met you can sit for the CPA and earn the designation, but you wouldn't be licensed. I suppose it would be like getting an MD but then not doing a residency and becoming a practicing doctor. Am I right or wrong here?

hey all, it's been awhile since I posted in this thread. I started my own business over the summer and had to take a break from my accounting program this past fall. I am now starting back up this quarter. I want to find an internship this year. Last year, I tried (with no luck) to get something at a small company (1 solo CPA to maybe a 10-15 person office). Most of the small firms said that they had interns already, and just about any "firm" that had 1-3 CPA's at it working for themselves said they couldn't take an intern (even a free one!) So, this year I want to try bigger. Is it too late to apply for a Big 4 Internship for this upcoming year? I was told by a smaller office last year, to give them a shot because they interview and extend offers to a lot of people, and will always have people turn down an offer at one firm for an offer at another firm. Plus, while everyone says working full time for a Big 4 company is awful, it seems like everyone loves to intern there.
