What's the best way for a non-traditional student to make a career transition into accounting? My current position, I don't work under a CPA and I'm mainly doing reconciliation.

I don't currently make that much, so far I've seen interns make more than I do. Also, I'm of certain age so I have work and family. I don't belong to clubs or do volunteer work, just due to time constraints

Do you have any sort of degree? The easiest way to get in a decent accounting career if you have an unrelated degree is do the masters in accounting program. A lot of schools either do a single year full time or 2 years part time that is intended for working professionals. Not only would you graduate eligible to sit for the CPA but most good schools have networks with firms and companies that recruit from the schools. Definitely pay attention but I know the schools I was looking at years ago had 90-95 % job placement each year.

I'm trying, I just found out how internships work. I didn't know they were offered over a certain time frame for the next year or so

Masters degree and cpa eligibility, and go through recruiting with your school. I transitioned to accounting at 45 and that’s what i did.

You'll do fine if you follow the masters program. You'll bring life experience too, which is a perk.

Sharing my experience so far a few weeks in; it's awesome. The bracelet is fit for purpose and more comfortable then you'd think. Further, this dial pops more than any other in my collection (even my sunburst blue). It's just so unique and doesn't shy when not in sunlight. Breitling has always fit my style (I have another), but the new chronomat is one to consider if you're looking for a new chronograph.
