I am stressed out of this CPA journey..have been on this for 5 years now. I was finally able to pass all parts but now my previous parts stand expired. Board already rejected my request of extension. I get asked at work every other month on the status of my CPA. Can’t explain the level of stress I am into. I am thinking of setting up a meeting and inform at my work that I can’t pursue CPA anymore and would like to know if CPA in condition to my employment and if yes, would move on from here.

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.

I am prior military and went to law school. I had a family to take care of while I was a student, hence I went as fast as possible to get to a paycheck, graduating in 2 years, and bypassing the standard summer clerkships.

I would like to eventually hang a shingle as a tax lawyer, but need experience. TIA!
