Listen….that was amazing. It made me stop whinning, second guessing and being so lazy. Not to belabor the point, but I am over 40, gave up college and everything for my four children and husband. I started my business 18 years ago so I could still be available for my husband and children. I have since earned my B.S in Accounting and M.S in Accounting and will not be defeated I am going for the CPA. summary: It's my time now. ….. and it's worth it.

It begins with a 75
Been here too long as a cheerleader.....time to pass

@Kricket, thanks for sharing! I am not over 40, but not fresh out of college either. That was a nice break from studying as I sat here with a smile on my face the entire time I was watching. Love it!!

I wonder what would be easier to do, passing the 4 CPA tests or dancing and being tossed up in the air like this Grannie Diva?

I have been asking myself that same question since I passed all four parts of the exam in early March. I am now in the application process.

I am wondering if passing all four parts of the exam and then getting the license will be enough to open employers/recruiter's eyes. If this accomplishment will outshine the fact that I have been unemployed for over 2 years and I am in my late 40's. I have over 6 years accounting experience working under a CPA, but that was some years ago.

But what am I suggesting here? Ageism and discrimination against the unemployed are about as real as pink unicorns.

I guess I will shortly find out if this accomplishment was well worth it.
