I made plans to get my 150 credit hours down before my start date, so in a different situation than yours OP

LSU online has the cheapest classes if your state doesn’t accept community college. And most firms will reimburse college credits so I just did them as I studied for CPA

I have 150 credits but I’m missing 12 credits of the 33 accounting credits. Fml

Nope - my school tries to push people to do their Masters of Accounting so they can get more money 🙃

Made it up in other general classes and electives. Would it look nice on my resume? Sure. Does a dozen years at big 4 look better. Sure does.

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.
