I need the shortest easiest route to improve my situation. The CPA exam
is hard and takes a long time to study for. EAs often only work during
tax season. CMAs are becoming obsolete as we move towards a
service-orientated economy. The CFA exam is way too hard. I don't know
what to think of the CFP. Should I be trying to get into graduate
school?
Here's my situation:
I worked for five years as a bookkeeper while working on my bachelor's
degree, which took me a long time to complete. Two of the jobs I stayed
at for 2 years apiece, the second 9 months and the last for 3 months. I
didn't take the positions seriously, as I was a student and felt I
would do a lot better after I graduated.
After graduating, I worked 6 months in a CPA firm during tax season and
was laid off. I was unemployed for about a year and for the last six
months, I've been working as a cashier in a gas station.
I've got two big gaps on my resume and three short jobs. The first gap
was due to me just going to school full-time after my last bookkeeping
job and the last was not being able to find a job. I think this
situation may be permanent.
Even if certification isn't the answer at least it will keep my mind
from turning to mush as I count change.
Anyone with any advice?
