Does anyone feel alone to study? This is me. I received the email from NASBA for the CPA examination review, and I feel I need to start to study. I always wanted to take the CPA exam but I’ve not been consistent with my studies, work and family and motivation make me believe that I’m too old for it.
I don’t even know at this point, I heard all stories and it seems to be so difficult to pass it.

Go for it. You have more time now to pass all papers...it was recommended to me to take the easiest paper first, just in case it expires before you pass all.

I’d encourage you to find people who are also in the process. My company has a group coaching experience and being accountable to your plan and not feeling alone are some of the things participants appreciate the most. There are plenty of other forums like that.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work.
