Hello,
I've working in the insurance industry as an analyst for
a year, and plan on continuing for another year or so. I
want to transition to accounting and am considering a
MACC program as a possible way of reaching this.
However, there are the high tuition costs and opportunity
costs to consider vs. the networking and recruiting
opportunities in public accounting. And from reading
online, it seems like MACC is for people right out of
school. This seems ridiculous to me as it seems like a
valid way to transition a career, and people with some
experience will provide some background diversity.
On the other hand, I've heard that I can take classes
from local schools or even online to meet the education
requirement. This would allow me to continue with my
present job and my company may even help with this
financially. However, I don't see this as giving me a
boost as far as employment goes, at least until I pass
the CPA exams. Will passing the CPA exams (with just
random classes) open doors like getting a MACC and then
passing CPA?
Any thoughts?
Thanks for your input.
