Should I get Masters after I take the CPA exam?
I have a BSBA in Small Business and Entrepreneurship from a private university. I want to take the CPA exam, so I was going to go straight for a Masters in Accounting and skip a BBA in Accounting. Since I am now at a public university, there are about 17 prerequisites I must take before being eligible for the Masters program. For financial aid and time reasons (there are only a few classes between just fulfilling my prerequisites and actually getting a BBA, so I'm just going for it), I am going to get a BBA in Accounting and then take the CPA. Should I still shoot for a Masters after I take the CPA? I've been told by some people that a Masters is irrelevant and some have said a Masters is the new Bachelors since "everyone" is getting a Bachelors degree now. #master #cpa #cpaexam #graduate-school
Whether it is best for a student to focus on completing their education during their summers away from school or to focus on working and providing income?
It has been my dream to pursue a graduate education in the liberal arts for the purpose of teaching at the university level, in order to contribute in enlightening and sharpening the minds of future generations. To accomplish this goal, I am currently a graduate student seeking a doctoral degree, though without a source of income for my livelihood. I am wondering whether it is recommended that students, in such a situation, focus on completing their education quicker, i.e. taking classes in the summer over extra spring and fall semesters, or whether it is best to work in the summers? The former entails more debt, but quicker completion and entry into the workforce, the latter entails less debt but simultaneously an extended amount of time in graduate school. In my particular case, I could either take classes for three summers and avoid three extra semesters, or work in the summer to provide at least a modicum of income for the rest of the year when studying. But the latter would necessitate three or four extra semesters in graduate school. The potential job-market for summer work for myself, is likely low-level entry work. #working #graduate-school #summer-courses

Why do people go to school?
I believe people to go to school to get a diploma, to prove people that they finish high school or maybe the reason people go to school it's because they want to makes more money. People don't have to go to school to start investing though.

Letters of Recommendation
I have just started my grad school application for Genetic Counseling but am not very confident regarding the 3 letters of recommendation I need to gather. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and my own social anxiety, I have had a hard time making any connections with professors. Classes have around 300 students so they have little to no memory of me. I've e-mailed the grad program about if letters of recommendations from my supervisor at work could be considered (currently an HR intern). I have also reached out to a professor I recently had last Spring. Is there anything else you would recommend for me to do?
