I'm interested in going back to school to learn something and Accounting always interested me and I did reasonably well in High School Accounting. I know that now means nothing since I've been out of HS for about 7 years now. Some advice for me would be appreciated as I don't know what I want to do at all really. Basically, right now I'm working at a hospital as a clerk, I make decent money part time with no chance to get full time in the foreseeable future and this is fine for me and has been for a while. However, I'm getting married in the spring and I want to get into a field where I can work full time, have more regular hours, make more money and be a little more stable just in case life throws us some curves, like a kid or something or the loss of one of our jobs. Clerking isn't really a skill and I'm just lucky to be making what I do while doing what I do. As well, I don't want to be tied to one area, like I am with the hospital work since it's all about seniority here and I feel like I'm trapped in my city. We want to travel in the future and I have no skills to get a good job wherever we end up. So Accounting looks like a good skill to have. I'm not looking for a big career here, just a good skill that will get me a job anywhere. I am looking at schools and the local ones have given me a few options, but I'm open to more suggestion. I'm living in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. First School: McMaster University -diploma course, can be fast tracked to 10 months, otherwise is basically 2 years. Costs nearly $7000 all told. Night school. Second School: Mohawk College -diploma course, 2 years. Also can be broken up into night school courses that will take much longer to complete. Probably will cost around $5000 all told. I know I'm probably not comparing apples to apples here really, but right now I'm pretty directionless and need some advice on even which field I should be going into. Also, these are only diplomas, I realize that there is probably more benefit going for a degree or more, but I'm not entirely clear on what is involved short of dropping everything to go to school full time for a few years, which I'm not prepared to do. I'd like to get this done all part time. I realize this will take a long time, but at least I'll be working towards something. Thoughts?
