in studying for this exam, my hair started to look like an electrocuted version version of Einstein’s Afro. During the last week before I took FAR, i forgot to brush my teeth and fell asleep on the toilet, and found my self dreaming about financial statements chasing me with calculators… no just kidding about the falling asleep one, but my point is, this process is stressing me out, and its killing me socially gradually.
Should I even continue with this??? I mean, I work as an accountant right now for a public company. I haven’t and probably will NOT do auditing. And, I probably won’t get into Public accounting (big 4; but that’s just maybe, can’t predict the future…)
But I do intend to stay in the field of accounting or something related, like finance.
My co workers, most of them have inactive CPAs, and the accounting boss, who’s done like years and years of auditing at a big 4 (but DOES NOT have a CPA license) is making way over 100k… maybe like 150k or something..
and then there’s me, stressing my butt off for this exam… do I even need it?? i mean, look at everyone else, they’re making WAY more than me, and they don’t have their CPA, or its inactive. Should I even continue to pursue it? it’s literally killing me slowly, i’m missing meals, i forgot the combo to my lock at 24 hour fitness, and had to get it cut b/c the exam i took was so intense, i think my memory got wiped out for temporally.
can someone list the benefits in getting the CPA? well i mean of course its obvious.. CPA is MUCH MUCH MUCh better than non cpa..
