Not yet. I'm graduating early to save some of my scholarship for my MBA

 

Was your undergrad a 4 or 5 year degree?

 

trust me...the shit you should be learning in school, is not something you can learn in school. I keep experiencing it first hand, once you get out into your field in your first job its like trying to drink from a fucking fire hose on full blast. You might get one drop or two but its going to punch you in the face and you are going to feel stupid. Its incredible how even the simplest concepts that i know like the back of my hand in class disappear from my mind when Im trying to figure out a problem or work through a project. Slowly but surely im learning to break everything down into bite size pieces I know how to handle. Its eye opening for sure!

 

so your telling me, you frequently get the fire hose in your face and you attempt to swallow as much as possible?

 

totally disagree. you have to start somewhere.

i will probably end up there, I need 150 credit hours for the cpa. and will only "graduate" with 120. I still dont know how long the actual grad program is.

i was busy typing lol

 

That's why I'm excited for an internship this summer. Get me semi-ready for the real world

Very nice. I'll be out in 3 1/2

 

Yep, and I got a fire hose for your face here soon that youll be swallowing as much as possible too.

 

Mark, I believe you meant to aim that at PH or possibly Ben, I am not sure how close your relationship is with Monte but I don't think he swings that way.

 

every day im filled with a euphoria of knowledge that i could never get in school, I love every second of it.

BUT! If I didnt have the education that I have learned from my classes thus far i would be hopelessly lost. They are very much connected

 

Definitely. Although you need to be a little more technical in your field than mine

 

Such no idea

 

oh, monte loves the GD, but he dont take that shit. Ben though would drink that shit like it was a fruity bar drink









(ginger derp lol)

 

Ben is probably the biggest flamer on tw.

Think we can start a poll?

 

oh come on, no where in the curriculum do they have a class where they hand you 12 manila folders full of loose leaf receipts and rental income info, 16 different properties under a newly developed LP, and a years worth of deposits and checks and a stack of bank statements and tell you to form a new quick books account so we can file their taxes. if you can tell that is what i was referring to above, that is what I got handed today, and ive never even set up a quick books company lol.

And I get that shit regularly, that is the kind of stuff you just cant have in a class, because there are too many variables. You just have to do it and learn how to handle situations like that (and learn quick books, thats a skill i need to quickly master)

 

I feel like out of all of that QuickBooks would have been something they should have taught you

 

I can tell you that getting a BS is def worth it!!

Good luck on your contract business, im sure sb is more strict than other counties.

 

you would think that! Only the most commonly used soft ware out there, but nope. As far as I know there is not a class for it.

Quick books is another animal in itself. It is designed in large for people who arent accountants, so it does a lot of the technical stuff behind the scenes that most people wouldn't know why or how to do. So the hard part for me is learning what quick books does behind the scenes and how to take what I know, and put that into how quickbooks does it. It is also REALLY easy to fuck up your records in quick books if you dont know what you are doing. Easy to use, easy to make a mess of haha. But a powerful tool no doubt
