Hello:



I am 48 years old and am finishing my bachelors degree in accounting. Any advice on how to move into the field at my age. I feel that age plays a big role in accounting???help



thanks Gary


From my observations and experience I think you are on the mark.

Think "self employment."

In Connecticut you need two years of public accounting and a masters degree to become a CPA, I am trying to psychologically prepare myself for the initail entry into the field and move on from there. Any suggestions???

Thanks Passo

I am getting my degree next year when I turn 44. I have been in various a/p positions for the past nine years, so I do have a good path to an accounting job. Have you at least worked in a/p, a/r, or payroll?
