Right now my goal is to go back to school. The thing is I'm undecided on what to pursue. I already have my AAS in Accounting. After a few rough terms during my BA (divorce, custody probs, moving, decrease in mental stability), I quit. Have only been working a contract job, helping people who are trying to complete their GED. I've come to enjoy helping others learn and succeed. And have been doing this type of stuff for a lil over 3yrs. So what I can't decide is whether to finish my ba in acct, switch to education, or finish the ba and then add the education.
Any thoughts, personal experience with these fields, or ideas of other routes would really be helpful. Thanks everyone

I would finish the ba... im in school atm and was a psych major but im so close to be done with that even though i dont want to do anythng with psych, but i decided to finish my psych and persue the German major part instead of the psych... so for you I would just add the education and do 2 majors.... that way you are more options....
Good luck! 21

Hi there,
It's totally up to you but if it were me I would switch majors and focus on what I really wanted to do. Why spend time and money on the degree that you no longer want unless you're just a couple classes away. You already have an AAS in accounting so there is already some certification in it I would say, again, if it were me, no need to pursue the longer route. But then again I am 30 and wanting to get my schooling done. Good luck whatever you choose. Love and Hugs, Tara |

Practically speaking, I would talk to the school(s) to find out what is specifically required for each program that you would need to complete to finish each of the degrees, as well as to add the education onto the accounting BA. It will also give you an indication for financial considerations. These are pieces that might help you with your decision.
HOWEVER, passion goes a long way and should not be discounted. If you know you want to go into teaching and will not be pursuing accounting, you do have baseline certification (AA) for it already to fall back on. I would consider changing to what I really wanted to be doing. |
